This recipe uses easily available frozen, tinned and processed foods
found in most kitchens. Frozen tuna steaks are a really good
product. Not premium tuna, not fresh tuna, but not expensive. There
are two tunas. Canned tuna which is horrible. Dry, tasteless, and
without a lot of mayonnaise inedible. Thats my opinion. Then there
is fresh tuna (raw) either fresh or frozen. No doubt that fresh tuna
from a quality fishmonger is fantastic, and it's expensive. The snap frozen
stuff is pretty good. In fact its really good. And similar in price to
budget steak. Woolworths sell the Brioche Buns. You can
substitute any bun. But Brioche is best.
I quick thaw the tuna steaks in the vaccuum sealed packets in a bowl of warm water. Takes less than 15 mins.
Then dry and cook. Snap frozen on the boat and consumed within 30 minutes of leaving the freezer means there is no chance of bacterial growth. Allowing the safe consumption of rare (blue) tuna. A good reason to buy snap frozen. Else put your trust in the fishmonger. Most restaurants will no longer serve Tuna Blue (rare) for this very reason. The Tuna might be top notch but alas over cooked at an outragious price.

4 Brioche Hamburger Buns
8 Cheese slices
4 Tuna steaks (frozen)

2 Tbs Thousand Island Dressing
2 Tbs Tartare Sauce

Trim the cheese slices to a round shape the size of the bun. Shred the lettuce.
Deep fry the hash browns.
In a non stick fry pan over medium low heat melt a generous amount of butter and cook the tuna by first rolling the edges for 20 seconds an edge and then frying for 30 seconds each side.
Rest 2 minutes. Cut to a depth of halfway 4 cuts across the grain.
Meanwhile toast the buns to light golden. Put a cheese slice on each bun (top and bottom) and grill till just melted.
To assemble ::

Trim off one end of the hash brown to match the size of the bun and place on top.

Delicious. The best way to get a serving of fish I know of. A bit of dressing and a deep fried element, but everything else is pretty healthy.M
