Seared Tuna with Olive-Tapenade Vinaigrette and Rocket

This elegant seared tuna with olive-tapenade vinaigrette and rocket is a sophisticated yet simple dish that celebrates fresh, Mediterranean-inspired flavours. The meaty texture of the ahi tuna is perfectly complemented by a zingy, herb-flecked dressing and the peppery crunch of fresh baby rocket. It is an ideal choice for a light summer supper or a refined weekend lunch that feels indulgent while remaining light on the palate.

As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and heart-friendly monounsaturated fats from the extra-virgin olive oil and olives. The addition of toasted baguette slices provides a satisfying crunch, making it a complete and balanced meal. Serve it alongside a chilled glass of dry white wine for a truly delightful dining experience.
