Mary Berry’s Healthy Teriyaki Tuna Salad

You can prepare the vegetables and sauce in advance if you like, but cook the tuna last minute and serve it. Couldn't be better. You'd even get away with doing it on the barbecue on a sunny day. The tuna is going to be glazed in a teriyaki sauce, soy, honey, white wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil. Well that's only been added to my cupboard in recent years and I do use it. It has a very good flavour and quite different. One and a dash more. That's it. And then the juice of half a lemon. Cornflour, grated garlic and then whisk on a low heat until it's thick and glossy. And now to the salad. I love cooking with things that I grow and I grow cucumbers. They're really very easy and I had 74 cucumbers last year and I find all different ways of using them make a very good cucumber pickle. Carrot ribbons add a beautiful colour and crunch. There's nothing like a homegrown carrot. They taste so good. It's with no effort and it does look rather good especially when they're curled over. It'll be very good in the salad. Peppery rocket into the bowl then red pepper, some spring onions and cucumber and our wonderful curls here of carrot. Salad ready. It's time to focus on those beautiful tuna steaks. I'm going to put a little bit of olive oil to start with. Then spoon over that delicious sticky sweet teriyaki sauce. Remember anything with honey in helps the fish or the meat to go brown quickly. Make sure the pan is piping hot. Pepper and salt. We only want to sear it for 30 seconds until it's brown on one side. Let's have a look and see how it's doing. You can just see from the side it's the heat is just entering the tuna. Looking good. Ready to turn over. You really got to watch this not the time to think oh I need to go and water something in the garden. Stay with it. That's absolutely perfect. Now to plate it all up. That wonderfully crisp salad balances with the teriyaki tuna perfectly. An ideal supper for a summer's day. The tuna just melts in the mouth. It is absolutely scrumptious and goes so well with that crispy salad.
