Preparing the tuna fillets Start by sprinkling the tuna fillets with salt and lemon juice. This step will not only enhance the flavor of the fish but also help eliminate any unpleasant odors. Let the fillets marinate for 30 minutes. 2. Boiling the fish In a pot, boil the water or fish stock with salt. When the water reaches boiling point, add the tuna fillets. Reduce the heat to low and cook them for 6 minutes. It is important not to overcook them, or they may fall apart. Once done, remove the fillets from the water and keep them warm. 3. Preparing the mustard sauce Next, you will need to reduce the remaining fish juice. Boil it for 4 minutes until it reduces. In a separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave and mix it with the flour. This mixture will give the sauce a creamy texture. Add this mixture to the boiling water, along with the cheese, mustard, sugar, wine, and mix well. Continue to boil the sauce until it thickens. Finally, season with salt and pepper, add the Herbes de Provence and the chopped parsley. The sauce should be rich and flavorful, perfect for coating the tuna fillets. 4. Preparing the spicy rice For the rice garnish, sauté the onion and chili in a little oil until translucent. Add the cooked rice and mix well, frying the rice for 5-6 minutes until it becomes slightly crispy. If you want an extra flavor boost, you can add the fish sauce and chili paste, frying everything together for another minute. 5. Serving the dish Arrange the tuna fillets on plates, generously drizzling them with mustard sauce. Add a portion of spicy rice alongside and garnish with a little fresh parsley. Serving suggestions and variations This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of dry white wine or a refreshing lemonade. If you want to add a touch of freshness, you can serve it with a salad of fresh vegetables. An interesting variation would be to replace the tuna with salmon or another fatty fish, and for the sauce, you can experiment with different types of mustard or cheese.
