Fraser and I teamed up with the legends at the Marine Stewardship Council to cook something that hits hard after a big workout. Because when we need a spicy, cheesy, high-protein boost, this tuna melt is our go-to 🙌🏽
Golden, gooey and packed with flavour, these spicy tuna melt toasties are a crave-worthy twist on a classic. MSC certified tuna is mixed with creamy mayo, tangy Dijon, a kick of Sriracha, and crunchy pepperoncini, then layered with juicy tomatoes and a generous handful of melted aged cheddar and mozzarella. Sandwiched between buttery toasted sourdough or brioche, it's comfort food with a bold, sustainable edge.
