Instructions

Step 1

Bring 1″ of water to a boil in a large pot; place tuna filets in a steamer basket, and place in pot. Cover pot and cook tuna until cooked through but slightly pink in the center, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pot and let cool.

Step 2

Flake tuna into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large bowl, along with mayonnaise, onion, parsley, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine, and chill before serving.
