🥗Healthier: swordfish

💰Cheaper: salmon

Swordfish is leaner and offers a similar texture.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Soak small capers in water for ten minutes to remove excess salt.

Blacken chili peppers on a gas stove or BBQ.

Slice the tuna as thin as possible, keeping it whole.

If desired, place tuna between cling film and pat it out to make it thinner.

Squeeze half a lemon over the tuna for about one minute to slightly 'cook' it with the acid.

Prepare fennel by removing the skin, stalk, and seeds.

Mix garlic, chili, fennel, and basil together with extra virgin olive oil to create a paste.

Layer the tuna slices on a plate and drizzle the prepared paste over them.

Garnish with wild rocket (arugula) and additional chili for color.
