1 large tuna steak, about 3/4 pound, seared medium doneness
1 1/4 cups baguette crumbs (fresh bread crumbs make from baguette; or any fresh breadcrumbs)
Zest of 1/2 lemon
4 large green olives, minced
1 tablespoon capers, minced
1 clove garlic, grated
1 green onion, minced
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
Leaves of 2 stems of thyme
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 teaspoon olive oil
Vegetable oil and olive oil for frying
3 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 1/4 lemon
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 1/2 tablespoons black olive tapenade

1
Cook the tuna by searing it on both sides in a pan over medium heat with a touch of light olive oil, until it is medium done (still pink inside). Set aside to cool, and flake with a fork.
2
Add the baguette crumbs, lemon zest, olives, capers, garlic, green onion, parsley, and thyme.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, egg, vinegar, anchovy paste, and oil. When well combined, fold into the other ingredients until well combined.
4
Divide the mixture into 6 patties. Heat just enough olive oil and vegetable oil in a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Sear 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve with Lemon Aioli and Tapenade Creme Fraiche (recipes follow) and lemon wedges.
5
For both sauces, simply mix the ingredients with a small whisk until well combined.
