The baked tuna with cherry tomatoes is a light fish main course that requires easy and quick cooking.
It’s an excellent alternative to grilled tuna, especially if the tuna is frozen and/or not yet completely thawed and if you have issues with fish odor in the house.
Tuna is a low-calorie fish and rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
I buy it fresh, defrosted, or from the freezer section, according to availability.
