Erik Kimβs Pepperoncini Tuna Salad from The New York Times has been on my list since forever. But when the craving hit, it didnβt feel like fiddling with a can opener and draining. Summer laziness takes unexpected forms.
That day, a piece of salmon in place of canned tuna β 10 minutes at 425Β°F on a piece of parchment β seemed less labor intense. Also, empty fish cans during summer heat, even rinsed, sitting in a recycling bin until the next pick up which is in two weeks β no.
Croissants felt a bit too buttery for mayonnaise so we lined up our homemade sourdough with arugula and had it open way. Excellent!
