IDEAS FOR enjoyING OUR Tinned FISH
Nicoise salad with tinned bluefin
The most important thing in any dish is the quality of ingredients used. Please keep that in mind when shopping for this dish! This salad recipe serves 4.
SALAD:
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup baby kale
1 cup microgreens
1 cup arugula
1 cup haricots verts, sauteed in 1 tbsp EVOO
1 cup of roasted baby potatoes
4 soft boiled eggs (recommend “six minute eggs”)
1 cup Castelvetrano olives, whole
1 cup of grape tomatoes, halved
1 can of Gulf of Maine Conservas Tinned Bluefin
VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 cup EVOO
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Juice of 1 whole lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Shake in jar to emulsify
We recommend arranging your dish starting with a bed of lettuce. Then arrange your ingredients in equal parts over the lettuce. Save the oil from the tuna can and add that to your vinaigrette. Dress the salad table side and enjoy!
Roasted Red Pepper Tuna Tapas
This dish is not only a delicious, crowd-pleasing small plate, it’s also a visual riff on the traditional preparation of bluefin tuna - Japanese nigiri sushi. This tapas recipe serves 4.
1 can of Gulf of Maine Conservas Tinned Bluefin
1 large jar roasted red pepper
1 whole lemon
Toothpicks
Cut the roasted red pepper into 2” x 1” strips. Take chunks of bluefin from the can and place the red pepper over it. Spear with toothpicks. Season with lemon zest.
