Add all ingredients except oil into a high sided container, blend with hand blender then slowly stream in oil.
MEDITERRANEAN STYLE TUNA SALAD WITH OIL POACHED TUNA:
▪220g or 1/2lb of oil poached tuna. See below for cooking methods OR use nice oil-packed white tuna
▪25-30g or ½ shallot, finely minced
▪10g chopped parsley
▪30g or 2-3Tbsp roasted red pepper, diced
▪10g or 1.5 Tbsp fennel, small diced
▪25g or 2Tbsp kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
▪10-15g or 1Tbsp capers, coarsely chopped
▪35g or 2 3/4Tbsp nice olive oil + additional for garnish
▪20g or 1 1/4Tbsp red wine vinegar
▪A pinch or 15-20 cranks cracked black pepper
Mix tuna and ingredients together using a fork to break down super large chunks of meat. Scoop salad onto a narrow crusty bread (baguette style). Add additional pinch of pepper and drizzle of nice olive oil.
OIL POACHED
▪1lb/.5kg raw big eye tuna (yellowfin also works)
▪Salt
Salt both sides of tuna steak generously. Add 500g or 2.5c olive oil to small sauce pan over med heat. Preheat oil to 150F/65C. Carefully lay in tuna steak, reduce heat to lowish, and poach for 25-30min, keeping an eye on the oil temp to be sure it stays at around 150F/65C. After about 25 min or when temp of tuna reaches 150F/65C, remove from heat and allow to cool for about 30min.
SOUS VIDE
▪1lb/.5kg raw big eye tuna (yellowfin also works)
▪salt
Salt both sides of tuna steak generously. Add 1gal or 4liters water to tall sided pot and add immersion circulator and set temperature to 150F/65C. Add salted tuna steak with a couple of glugs of nice olive oil into a sealed bag (i’m using a vacuum sealed bag). Allow to poach for about 35min. After 35min, remove immersion circulator and add a qt of ice to stop the fish from cooking.

This is the first time I have seen an American make Italian tuna salad before. My grandfather - immigrated from Italy, could not understand mayonnaise. He taught me how to make Italian tuna salad. Much like what you did, but simpler ingredients. It was out of this world, and inexpensive. He grew his own vegetables, and made his own wine. My grandmother made all the pasta, meals, knit, made suits without patterns like a pro. From very little, and very poor, they created so much.
Care to share the recipe?
Looks so good. I make tuna salad with mayo, shallots, finely diced granny Smith apples, lemon zest, finely diced celery, fresh dill and sometimes cashews.
This sounds really good! I've never tried Granny Smith apples or lemon zest in my tuna salad but I'll have to give it a try
@@MrFredstt Fresh apples are quite the hidden gem of a game changer when comes to exploring options for savoury dishes.
Wow! That’s very autumn-like and definitely delicious!
Good old English apples.. as English as apple pie..😊👍🏴🇬🇧
I’m trying this
Minor thing, but I like to make my deli tuna a day in advance, and leave it in the fridge. The tuna marinades in the mix, and even the chunks you miss get some flavor. It also dries out a little, which brings it closer in texture to tuna you get in an actual deli, and that's the experience I'm usually after.
I'm glad I read this, because I just followed his recipe exactly and it's basically a chowder-like consistency. Hoping the day in the fridge dries it out!
Yep, that one day hang out and chill really brings it together. Dame for a good egg salad.
well go get, this about his not yours...good grief..Deli Tuna, you live in Japan or something?
Yes, agreed. I would also add some cayenne pepper in the mix, it is so good. And also a tomato.
Things in the frig typically get weepier as the salt pulls more liquid out. The deli secret is getting crushed saltines and mixing in to absorb the extra liquid and fix the “looseness” of their salads.
this guy is so underrated as a food content creator
The deli style tuna fish was seriously the best I have ever had or made. I threw out my old tired recipe and will use this one from now on. Wonderful stuff!
Thanks Skylar!
@@BrianLagerstrom Wonder what Brand is just as good as this. In New Orleans we have Star Kist
Wow, I love the little details of how many grams and price to go with everything he used. This video was put together and especially narrated in great detail, where it’s not overwhelming. Also loved that happy dance with the food at the end - subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
@@BrianLagerstrom Your wife and you look so identical like you were meant for each other.
He’s literally copying Joshua Weissman… you should check him out ;)
@@floortje368 Thanks, saw Weissman thanks to CZcams. Love Weissman dessert videos
I also agree! I like this sort of detail oriented addition to his production! I appreciate it!
Love it when CZcamsrs show the canned version of things. Most would’ve just skipped to the most expensive, nicest cut of tuna they could find, but not everyone can get that, and some people just don’t want to.
Kudos.
It’d be hard for me to not give that poached tuna a quick sear and it all right then and there lol
Thanks for showing a canned version and a poached version! Looks delicious!
I really enjoy it every time you say "all day." Just feels so familiar
Ok, I’ve been watching your videos for the past two days. First, thank you for sharing your expertise from the restaurant business. Second, thank you for your well thought out execution and production. Finally, thank you for the range of recipes you’ve covered. Your are easily one of the best channels I now have in my arsenal. Looking forward to future videos - thank you again!!!
Mayo is made of raw egg? I won't eat it next time.
I’m Brian Fellows
Totally agree with everything, but 1: too much salt! Brine is salt, too. Salt fish are salty. No need to add so much more.
All of the restaurant experience is valuable except the use of salt . Guess it is a choice of making money or supporting good health of your fellow man.
Bri is my guy! That sandwich was delicious bro. My wife and I enjoyed it as part of our little balcony picnic. Much love from the Bronx. Looking forward to tackling many of your other recipes.
Just made the Mediterranean version for lunch today. It was great! I enjoyed the tang the vinegar added and overall the sandwich was lovely. I agree that it pairs well with a nice glass of white wine!
Why has this guy not hit 1 million subs yet he’s awesome!! Thank you for all the recipes!
You're a very good teacher. Thank you for your cooking joy!
I appreciate the comparison of canned tunas, it was very helpful. I made the deli version minus the mustard and adding a little lemon juice instead.
We made the sous vide version tonight and we’re super happy with the results. Thank you!!
That's a nice tuna spread you made there. I usually do my own kind of tuna spread containing: Canned tuna in oil, yellow curry powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayo and fine diced shallots. This spread can easily be served with 2 slices of toasted white loaf bread or made as a panini with basil pesto, sun dried tomatoes and napoletana salad toasted with 2 slices of wholewheat panini bread.
Thank you for showing this dishes
After decades of using tuna in water, I've taken to using high quality tuna in oil for my "deli style" tuna salad. The little bit of added fat just means I can use less mayo (yes, I think that's a good thing). My grandmother's bread-and-butter pickle recipe is perfect for this. I like to add dried cranberries and sliced almonds. It's delicious on toast with tomato and lettuce (as you served yours) but more often than not I eat it as a tuna melt (seeded rye bread, baby swiss on both sides, grilled in clarified butter).
yeah, tuna in oil is SO much better than tuna in water. definitely the easiest way to step up the tuna sandwich game with no extra effort
I love a tuna melt...I do it open-faced- less carbs- and add finely chopped jalapeno and kalamata olive slices.
Wow, I think you cracked the code with that first recipe. I've been looking for a way to make tuna salad taste good for years and this may be the best version I've ever had. Thanks very much!
You are so adorable dancing at the end of all your videos! Love all of your videos & am learning a lot as I make my way through all of them! TY!
This tuna sando knocked it out the park. ! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love the Mediterranean version and the timing is perfect. I just scored some locally-caught bluefin tuna loin that will end up in this dish tonight! Thanks Chef!
Woah! That’s amazing good luck
bob da farmer classic
From the recent run off big sur,I wonder?
@@billlaflaur1120 So. Cal, near Catalina.
I love how u gave 2 recipies with alternative cooking methods! Def gotta try dat med!
My parents make a tuna salad with pickles, apple and pineapple pieces. It's super delicious.
These look great!!
pineapple is loaded with vitamin c and bromelain & will heal an injury quickly. i have a connective tissue disorder & arthiritus and can only heal by drinking pineapple smoothie
I used to eat a tuna salad every week as a kid and now I want to make some from that 2nd recipe - thanks Bri!;)
Thanks for these dope recipes, Bri. Always looking to step up my tuna salad game. One of the favorite sammies in the land.
I cannot wait to try this recipe for the oil poached tuna salad..it looks amazing!!
Love the classic tuna salad recipe!!! Highly recommend! Made it at least 3 times
I forget where I heard it first, but it's a pretty genius saying, "Sous vide is a solution looking for a problem" LOL
Awesome video!
Tuna is a go-to for me so I'm super excited to try this!
I like adding pepperoncini peppers slices on top in place of your additional pickles. I also don't put lettuce on mine when I make it at home but will if ordering it at the deli. I normally don't have lettuce in the fridge that often. I have a friend that makes it with grapes in it and then puts it on large croissants instead of bread. I prefer toasted whole-wheat when having a tuna fish or chicken salad sandwich. Then toasted white bread for an egg salad sandwich.
Thank you for the recipe! Will be trying them!
Yellow mustard in tuna is addicting. Really good.
If you can dunk the sandwich in chicken noodle soup, prepare to roll your eyes.
The second tuna recipe reminds me of some of the fish dishes I had in Portugal. I would top it with some thinly sliced Meyer lemon peel, or even candied lemon peel. Looks delicious!
I very much appreciate the creativity & extra touches you bring to these vids. Bravo!
can i just say how much Brian's and, Josh's older kitchen, look so similar it threw me for enough of a loop i had to look at them both and find differences
I was happy to see my favorite canned tuna being used for the tuna salad. I tried the recipe and it’s just simply delicious. And the mayo is the only kind I’ll be keeping in the fridge from now on. I used safflower oil and rice vinegar (somehow I am out of white vinegar). And took your advice and added the sugar to make it into salad dressing. Now to try the second tuna recipe 👍
Just made the first salad and tried it, and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast
It’s lunch, and I’m starving. I’d love to reach through my phone screen and grab that sandwich! Lol. Looks delish, Bri.
i have fear for the humans who are around when that technology is made.
Thank you for finally convincing me to try adding pickle, wow
Wow, great ideas. Love your Mediterranean version. I've made a tuna sandwich with homemade mayo and poached tuna on great bread. So good too.
Tuna, Mayo, Black Pepper, Balasamic with Arrugula and some White cheddar is a winner
You are an artist!!! Gorgeous sandwiches, can't decide which is more appealing. Great job, great video thanks Bri
Nice! Love your chicken salad video and I've been waiting for the inevitable tuna salad. And you didn't disappoint!
Love your work Brian. You’re down to earth commentary along with these great recipes and insightful explanation make watching fun. Thank you ❤️🇦🇺
“My word!” Love that
I just did a variant on the Mediterranean version using canned sardines. Works really well. Gonna bookmark this one.
ugh i’ve loved tuna salad for literally as long as i can remember. i used to make it when i was in elementary school and maybe even younger. it makes me so nostalgic. i never thought to include some of the tuna liquid in the salad, i’ll have to try that next time! your recipe looks delish 😋
I’m wondering if all of them have “tuna juice,” or is that only in better quality/higher priced? Are most of them mostly water or oil? (I’m not big on the water, but the oil is usually fine with me.)
You always bring those easy foods up a notch! BAM!
Tried the first kind and just polished it off tonight. Absolutely loved it and my son was all about it too. Wasn't able to do the bread yet but that's next.
As always, thank you for all the Whys! Like the onion part!
Oh wow - they both look so good!
Wow! Love your energy!
it was so helpful and professional
One time when had 6 unexpected lunch guests (in addition to the 4 members of my family and all my mom had was a couple of large cans of tuna, she hardboiled eggs, mashed them and added them to the tuna salad. It was delicious and really stretched the tuna
For the canned tuna in water, I'd highly recommend Target's Good & Gather premium skipjack. I've tried most brands, and the meatiness of that one is phenomenal. Big giant flakey chunks, not much more water than the Wild Planet, and the flavor was by far the most pleasant (to me) when mixed with some mayonnaise.
EDIT: Wanted to come back and say I'm now 100% a Wild Planet guy. After doing side my side taste tests, it's by far my favorite.
I've found that the store brand tunas are much better than all the national brands
Starkist. Bumble Been
etc. With at least 1/3 less water per can
My wife and I really liked the chicken salad you made recently... looking forward to trying this one out too.
Tuna salad is one of my favourite 😋
This went over splendidly. (The best thing is to customize it for people who don't particularly like Capers for example.) And I didn't have any shallots so I used the pickled ones that I made. Yes! That's a thing. If you have too many shallots slice them up and pickle them. And the fun thing is that they last forever you simply keep adding and stirring adding and stirring. Yay for tuna salad!
Hey Brie, i like seeing your videos. Your channel is complete and unique it has all i need. Besides your sense of humor. The best chef!
OMG! This is awesome!
The first one is the easiest and fastest method I can use, but all 3 methods look delicious, not gonna lie!
I like Rio Mare tuna for my tuna salad. It's packed in olive oil, and since trying it, I won't go back to the water-packed stuff. I'm also a relish/bread and butter pickle guy, and I like to add some sweet pickled hot peppers. I'm gonna try to remember to add capers next time, though. I always have a jar of those kicking around somewhere in my fridge and forget they exist. I'll sometimes add a little squirt of BBQ sauce if I have some, too.
I was thinking of Tuna salad and found this video. Now I have to make your baguette recipe. 💜
Brian, love your content and recipes. No lies, you have the best cooking videos on CZcams. Let's eat this thinnngggggg.
Once again, I love your video. Informative, entertaining, great pace and just the right amount of cheek. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Matt
The sandwich looks amazing. I will try this one day when I am looking for lunch ideas. I will however not put as much tuna salad on my sandwich as you did. When I put that much on my sandwiches I find myself cleaning my shirt, my plate and the floor. Thanks for a great vid.
Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you Brian on the rare chance you see this. I was in the Infantry 27 years and mostly ate rations, cold (I know, Boo Hoo). LOL, I still like them. BUT! In my old age, I have to cook for myself and this helps my health and quality of life. I appreciate it and think you do a great job. Thank you Brian.
#1 is my go-to. The toast is a must! 👍
Mucho delicioso!! Lol yum yum totally looks fantastic . You break it down to a science 👆🏻
Dont understand when people hate the "Low Priced" things when its a good Quality its ok to eat the broken tiny pieces
Especially since he's gonna mash it all up with a fork anyway, and the water can be drained
Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Very nice mate! Love it .
First time watcher, great video, love the content, delivery and your fun personality.
Going hard in the title paint and I love it. I have some nice oil packed tuna that I'll try the second recipe with!
Wow!! awesome presentation & excellent preparation 😍❤ looks yummy
We are definitely a family that has tuna fish for dinner. Definitely some great info here. Can not wait for your cook book. Seriously, your recipes are incredible.
Thank you Robert.
I love deli style tuna but have never been satisfied with my trials at home. Your deli style tuna looks amazing, and although I absolutely hate capers, your recipe looks so good I’m willing to try it. Matter of fact, it’s on my shopping list for this weekend. Can’t wait!! Thank you!
Can we get some love for actually putting the recipes in the description? Thanks, Brian, you make me look like I know how to cook in front of my gf!
Both look so good😋
Like the different techniques. I've been happy with a combo of the two. The can with little mayo and olive oil. Experimented with chopped sun dried tomatoes and anchovies (it works).
I love that idea, I never thought to use either of those ingredients but I bet it's awesome. Definitely gonna try that next time I make some tuna salad
B ohh sandwiches look delicious! So (as a rule) the smaller tuna (skipjack vs. yellowfin etc.) are shorter lived but have also eaten and processed a LOT less fish from further down the food chain - and those fish include Mercury. Once ingested it stays in the fish - and the bigger fish that eat them. So big fish like yellowfin, bluefin, swordfish that have grown big by eating a lot of smaller fish will concentrate Mercury. Hence, limit how often you eat that stuff. Poaching in oil is 'Confit' - as in Duck Confit...
def on my list
yummy for the tummy..
Ordered that set from them. Never tried good olive oil. Looks good!
Europe here, Netherlands, let me say that it's a perfect video, well presented , well edited, and I can see that you know your stuff, I have subscribed , thank's for the upload.
I ❤ both recipes.
I like tuna sandwich thank for your sharing 😋
Those both look fantastic. I've been using oil packed tuna from that big membership store. Good stuff
I love fresh squeezed lemon juice in my tuna salad
Awesome video! Love Tuna salad. Your sandwiches look great!
Yuuum! Lovely recipes.
First vid I’ve seen of yours, love the food and your energy, new sub!
So happy I found your channel!
Dude, nice. Another solid video Bri.
Made this recipe minus the capers and with 'Wickles relish' instead. Because relish is more watery, I drained the tuna instead of leaving the juice. And for an extra southern appeal, I added diced hard boiled egg judt like momma would. It turned out amazing! So yummy
Thanks Brian! I needed a good tuna salad in my wheel house! Yum! 👍🏻
I just watched Dexter: New Blood's first episode, Dexter couldn't have his tuna sandwitch at the episode so here I am looking for a great recipe. Thanks Brian, couldn't have been better timing!
It's been a surprise seeing Ortiz tuna. I'm from the Basque Country, where it's caught and done!
It’s awesome
