Preparation steps

Place the sardines, chopped garlic and thyme in a mortar and crush everything together. Gradually add the oil and season to taste with the vinegar. Leave to steep at room temperature.

Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C in a fan oven), 400°F, gas 6.

Mix together the diced garlic, rosemary, sage, chilli, bread, orange and lemon zest to make the topping.

Brush the tuna steaks with oil, season with salt and ground black pepper and roll in the topping, pressing it on firmly so that it stays on the fish.

Heat some oil in an oven-proof dish and carefully place the fish inside. Fry on a medium heat for around 1 minute, turn carefully and transfer the dish to the oven. Roast for 5 min.

Mix the lettuce leaves with 2/3 of the sardine dressing and arrange on plates. Remove the tuna from the oven and slice. Arrange the slices on the lettuce so they overlap. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
