We may be over the worst of the heat wave (for now) but temperatures are still pretty soaring and I am definitely still only in the mood for super light, flavourful and satisfying dishes that don't sit too heavy in the stomach.
This seared, sesame coated tuna steak, served with a super fresh noodle salad ticks all those boxes and is also super quick to rustle up! A perfect weekday supper that still delivers a wow factor.
