TUNA POKE BOWLS

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Bring 2 cups water, the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the sugar is dissolved, 30 seconds to 1 minute; stir. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until the rice is fluffy but still sticky, 2 to 3 minutes; let cool completely.
• Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Combine the scallions, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the tuna and edamame and stir to coat; season with salt. Divide the rice among bowls and top with the tuna mixture and cucumber. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

HERBED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the rosemary, thyme and scallions. Transfer to a small bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Season the tuna all over with salt and pepper and put in a shallow dish. Coat with the herb mixture on both sides; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and sear until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

CRISPY TUNA CAKES WITH LEMON CHILI MAYO

Steps:

• For the tuna cakes: Place the drained tuna in a large bowl. Add the bread or breadcrumbs, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, onion, parsley, garlic, seafood seasoning, salt and eggs. Toss until evenly combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the liquid.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon chili mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
• Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture at a time and pat into a round patty shape in your hands, then immediately place it in the skillet. Repeat, working in batches so that you're cooking 3 to 4 tuna cakes at a time, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. Cook until crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until crisp on the sides and fully cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the tuna cakes hot with your favorite side, a drizzle of the lemon chili mayo and lemon wedges, if desired.

Pour dressing on the tuna, bean and caper mixture and allow the flavors to infuse while slicing the vegetables. Add the onion and tomatoes to tuna mixture and toss gently.
