3 scallions
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1-pound center-cut tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)

  • Season the tuna salad well: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are essential for a flavorful tuna salad.
  • Use a variety of bread: Try different types of bread, such as white, wheat, rye, or sourdough, to find your favorite combination.
