Tuna Fillets in Light Brine w/ Lemon-Thyme
About This Tin
Maria Organic's Tuna Fillets in Light Brine with Lemon Thyme showcase wild-caught tuna from the waters of the Iberian Peninsula, transformed into a bright, herbaceous delicacy. These premium fillets are delicately preserved in a light brine infused with organic lemon thyme—a distinct herb known for its natural citrus aroma and flavor—creating a distinctive profile that balances the natural richness of tuna with bright, aromatic notes. The result is a clean, subtle tin that maintains the tuna's juicy texture while offering a refreshing twist on traditional preserves.
Deeply rooted in Portuguese tradition, Maria Organic embraces sustainable fishing practices and artisanal production methods that honor both the environment and culinary heritage. Each fish is wild-caught using small-scale techniques that benefit the social, economic, and ecological aspects of marine ecosystems. The traditional pre-cooking method ensures these fillets maintain their quality and appearance, with each piece handled individually rather than mass-produced. This thoughtful approach extends to the packaging, which utilizes recycled paper, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability from ocean to table.
What Makes It Special
- Distinctive Herb Infusion: The aromatic lemon thyme (Thymus citriodorus) creates a natural citrus-herbal infusion that elevates the tuna's flavor without overwhelming it, offering antioxidant benefits alongside its unique taste.
- Artisanal Production: Each tin represents Portuguese tradition with fish that's individually handled, traditionally pre-cooked, and carefully preserved using time-honored techniques.
- Nutritional Harmony: The omega-3 richness of wild tuna pairs perfectly with the healthful properties of lemon thyme, aligning beautifully with Mediterranean diet principles.
Perfect Pairings
- Herb-Forward Grain Bowl: Flake these aromatic fillets over a bed of farro with fresh dill, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette for a satisfying and refreshing meal.
- Summer Tartine: Layer on crusty sourdough with smashed avocado, paper-thin radish slices, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a simple but sophisticated open-faced sandwich.
- Mediterranean Potato Salad: Toss with warm new potatoes, green beans, kalamata olives, and fresh herbs, allowing the lemon thyme brine to act as part of the dressing for a protein-rich side.
