1 tbsp YUZUCO yuzu kosho
2 tsp YUZUCO yuzu juice
¼ cup mayo
1-2 tbsp crème fraîche
1 tsp sugar
4 confit garlic cloves (can substitute ½ garlic cloves)
4–8 basil leaves
Small handful of dill

Tuna Salad

1 jar tuna fillets (about 6.7 oz)
¼–½ cup yuzu dill dressing
1 tsp whole grain mustard
1 tsp capers
4–5 olives, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped dill
Zest of 1 lemon
2 Calabrian chili peppers, chopped
2–4 cornichons, chopped
½ jalapeño, finely diced

For Serving

2 slices sourdough or bread of choice
Arugula
Pickled onions
Pepperoncini, sliced
2 slices pepper jack cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Make the yuzu dill dressing: blend together the yuzu kosho, yuzu juice, mayo, crème fraîche, sugar, confit garlic, basil, and dill until smooth.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the tuna fillets with capers, olives, dill, lemon zest, Calabrian chilis, mustard, cornichons, pepperoncini, and jalapeño. Mix in ¼–½ cup of the dressing until combined. (Feel free to omit anything you don’t want)

Step 3

Toast the bread in a pan until golden on both sides. Add the cheese to one slice and let it melt from the residual heat (or torch lightly).

Step 4

Assemble the sandwich with arugula, tuna salad, pickled onions, and sliced pepperoncini. Top with the second slice of bread.

Step 5

Slice and serve.
