This is one of my favorite quick midweek dinners because it comes together in just fifteen minutes from start to finish. I love pairing earthy roasted beetroot and crispy red cabbage with beautifully seared tuna that gets a wonderful crust from the dukkah spice blend. The tuna is packed with omega 3 fatty acids, which are brilliant for heart health, and the vibrant slaw keeps everything light and fresh. It's the kind of dish that feels fancy enough for guests but simple enough that I can pull it together on a busy Tuesday night without any fuss.
