Ingredients

Mayonnaise:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup finely diced sweet pickles (about 2 pickles)

Sandwiches:

• 4 (4 to 6-ounce) albacore tuna steaks
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Olive oil for drizzling, plus 1/4 cup
• 4 teaspoons herbs de Provence
• 4 slices sharp white Cheddar
• 1 (1-pound) loaf ciabatta bread halved horizontally
• 2 cups arugula, thinly sliced

Directions

For the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sweet pickles until smooth.

For the sandwiches: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the herbs de Provence. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of fish during the last minute of grilling. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom half of the bread with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Cut into 4 pieces, each about 4-inches long and 3-inches wide. Grill, cut side down, for 30 seconds to 1 minute until toasted and golden.

Spread the grilled bread with the sweet pickle mayonnaise. Place a tuna steak on top. Top with the arugula and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Loved it. Hands down a fantastic sandwich! I was running low on extra virgin olive oil so I had to skimp a tad, but it still came out great. I’m sure using the recommended amount of olive oil would have only added to the flavor. Never really used arugula before, but it’s a GREAT flavor with the fish. The only thing that we did differently was cooking the tuna steaks well. Still good but I’d still like to try it a little more rare. I was pleasantly surprised with the sweet pickle mayo. I’m generally a dill pickle girl and still may try it will dill later but the sweet ones were delicious!
