Ingredients
- 1 head fennel
- 2 pink radishes
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 scallions
- 2 asparagus spears
Tuna marinade:
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 minced clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 8 ounce yellowfin tuna
Tapenade dressing:
- 3 tablespoons black olive puree
- 3 tablespoons basil puree
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
Directions
Slice all the vegetables thinly with a very sharp mandoline and put them in icy water for about an hour. Combine marinade ingredients. Cut the tuna in a long thin slices about 1/2-inch thick and let sit in the marinade for about 20 minutes. In a medium size skillet over high heat sear the tuna briefly, until rare. Reserve on the side once done. Drain all the vegetables, dry them and season with a little bit of lemon and olive oil seasoned to taste. Place a small amount in the middle of the plate and add the thin slice of tuna on top of it. Combine tapenade dressing and drizzle vinaigrette on tuna

This is a nice quick recipe for a summer evening, but the tapenade vinaigrette needs doctoring. It was too salty and too sour. I recommend cutting back on the lemon juice and using more basil than olive puree. I added high quality aged balsamic to sweeten this up, along with a clove of garlic and was quite satisfied with the results. I also grilled the marinated tuna steaks whole and sliced them afterward.
