Fresh Charred Tuna Steak With Salsa Verde image

Oh, i love a bit of salsa verde. It translates simply as 'green sauce', and i may vary it frequently to include my favorite flavourings. This version is fantastic with most plain grilled or fried fish and is a perfect match for a fresh tuna steak. I like it quite rough, so i prefer to chop it by hand, but you can give it a quick blitz in the blender if you prefer.
