Pepper & fennel-crusted tuna with figs

Cooking Fish Pepper & fennel-crusted tuna with figs

Keep it simple yet spectacular with this amazing combination of seared tuna, Asian salad leaves and fresh figs.

  1. On a tray, combine fennel seeds with 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Trim the tuna and halve lengthways to create 2 long logs. Coat pieces all over in the fennel mixture, then cover and leave at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frypan over high heat. When very hot, add tuna and cook for about 3 minutes, turning to brown all over. The tuna should be seared on the outside and very rare in the centre.
  3. Combine the figs and mizuna or rocket in a bowl with lemon juice and remaining tablespoon of oil.
  4. Slice tuna thinly and toss through the salad. Serve with lemon wedges.
