Chelsea -  decided to give this one a go tonight.  It holds together really well on the plate when left to sit for a little while after baking. It was a teeny bit bland so I would definitely use a roasted capsicum like you did JD or perhaps add some sundried tomatoes next time.  Altogether it's an easy and tasty recipe for people who like tuna (I'm gradually acquiring a taste for it).

I love the sound of this.  I always have all the ingredients on hand, so this is a great tuna variation.

Thanks Judy. When we have eaten the fish we catch at Monkey Mia we usually get our fish fix from tuna or tinned salmon as we can't eat the fish from the shops. Too fussy.

Good work JD - simple and succinct again.   Good to see the fingers are working.

Thanks, yes I'm starting to feel great now.  By the way, this dish tastes even better the next day.

Gosh I can't remember what it tasted like Chelsea, it was posted so long ago but I'm sure I would add some chilli these days too   Thanks for trying it.
