Name: Albacore Tuna Sliders
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound albacore tuna loin (ask for a piece off the front end, for even thickness); 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons Northwest Seafood Seasoning; 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; Slider buns, brioche, if possible; 1 medium heirloom tomato or other ripe beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced; Arugula leaves, rinsed and dried; Tartar sauce, such as Pike Place Fish Smoked Walla Walla Onion Tartar Sauce

This quick, easy, and delicious recipe features a seared whole piece of tuna loin that's seared on a grill and then cut into slices and slid into brioche buns. Okay, so these are also technically sandwiches. If you're wondering why these slides are here instead of in the sandwich chapter, there are two reasons. The first is that Anders thought there needed to be a tuna option in Tuesday-Night Tuna. But the other reason is less pedantic: these are easy to make on a weeknight and make a fantastic dinner for four. Anders serves these with Pike Place Fish Smoked Walla Walla Onion Tartar Sauce, but you can serve it with any tartar-style sauce.
