    It’s too simple for my taste, I want more flavor! Maybe add some spices next time.

      I get what you mean! A sprinkle of red pepper flakes or some herbs could really jazz this up. 😊

    I used fresh tuna instead of canned. Still turned out pretty good!

    I dont like asparagus so I just left it out. Still good with just tuna!

    1. 5 stars
      I think asparagus is gross too! Tuna is great on its own. Good call!

    Tuna and asparagus? Not my thing. I prefer to have my tuna in a sandwich. 😕

    Honestly, I was skeptical about this combo at first but wow, it turned out good! The lemon really brightens it up!

    Yuck! The asparagus was too chewy for me and I didn’t think the flavors worked.

    I’m not a fan of tuna, so I replaced it with chicken. It was fine but not the same, lol.

    This was a disaster! The garlic burned and tasted bitter. Never again!

    I dont really like tuna, but my husband loved it. I guess it’s not for me.

      I get that! Tuna is definitely an acquired taste. Glad your husband enjoyed it though!

      Tuna ain’t for everybody. Maybe try a chicken version next time?

    I didn’t have asparagus, so I used broccoli instead, and it was still good. Nice recipe!

    Easy recipe! But I think it needs a bit more flavor. Maybe some chili flakes?

    1. User avatar jerald.kshlerin88 says:

      5 stars
      I agree! A little kick from chili flakes would be awesome. Thanks for the tip!

      Chili flakes? I don’t know, that might ruin the whole thing! Just stick with salt and pepper.

    I made this for dinner last night and simmered it for too long, the tuna got kinda dry. Oops!

    Really easy! But how do you make tuna not smell weird?? I always get grossed out. 🤢

    1. User avatar cary.schroeder28 says:

      Tuna’s just smelly, no way around it… maybe use fresh fish instead?

    2. User avatar Arthur Dent says:

      Try rinsing the tuna in cold water before using it! It helps with the smell. 😊

    Honestly, it was kinda bland. I added some chili flakes and it improved a bit. Needs more flavor.

    How can people like tuna? It’s the worst! Can’t believe people actually make this.
