Excellent recipe!! I made a couple of changes in that I added a tablespoon of fresh tarragon to the sauce as I had it in the fridge to use up. I also added some lemon juice but apart from that I followed the recipe as written. I served ours over asparagus cooked with mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. It was truly a restaurant quality meal. I love tuna and this was a great way to prepare it and we will be enjoying this one again. Cheers Chef Shannon for a great dinner.
