Every small choice we make as individuals has a big impact. Choosing sustainable blue foods supports not only a healthy planet but also the livelihoods of the people responsible for taking care of those fisheries and the communities around them.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
- 1 tin (approx. 150 g) of MSC certified sustainable tuna in oil
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 heaping cups (250 g) Brussel sprouts, whole washed
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F
- In a medium sized pot of boiling water, add Brussel sprouts and let simmer until tender, approximately 10 minutes.
- When Brussel sprouts are tender, drain and flatten each one with the bottom of a mug until relatively thin.
- On a parchment-lined cookie sheet, arrange the Brussel sprouts giving each one room, drizzle with olive oil and bake until desired crispiness, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter and continue to cook until the milk solids stop bubbling and start browning. HINT! You’re looking for the color of light maple syrup. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- In a blender, add egg yolks, Dijon, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- Start the blender and slowly drizzle in the warm brown butter. The hollandaise will start to thicken quickly, so stop the blender before it gets too thick. Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce.
- Remove tuna from the tin reserving the oil. Mash lightly with a fork leaving some slightly larger chunks. Fold into the warm Hollandaise.
- Remove sprouts from oven and divide onto 2 plates. Drizzle with the olive oil from the tinned tuna if desired.
- Top liberally with the warm tuna Hollandaise or serve on the side as a dip.
Pro Tip: Caramelizing your butter to a dark golden brown unlocks a whole new level of flavor, and this hollandaise whips up in seconds so you can get back to hosting and brunching.
What is the MSC Blue Fish Label?
Each product featuring the MSC blue fish label (pictured above) is:
- Sustainably Sourced – The stocks are fished in a way that does not threaten the population's long-term health and minimizes the damaging effects of fishing to the surrounding wildlife and ecosystem.
- Verified – You can feel confident that it is sourced from a fishery that is certified sustainable to the MSC Fisheries Standard.
- Wild-Caught – The seafood you’re consuming comes from the ocean, lakes, or rivers from wild populations.
