The day before, soak the beans in plenty of cold water and let them sit overnight.
On the day of preparation, drain the beans, rinse them with cold water and let them drain. Boil them al dente for approx. 50 minutes. Finely chop the onion and cut the olives into rings. Chop the herbs and mix them with olives and onion. Coarsely chop the beans and add them. Mix with the oil. Incorporate the grated Parmesan cheese into flakes. Season with salt and pepper and let it rest.
Pour the pepper and fennel seeds into a mortar. Add the finely grated lemon zest and pound everything together. Squeeze the lemon and set it aside. Season the tuna with the spice mixture. Brown it on both sides in the remaining oil over medium heat for approx. 6 minutes. Let it rest briefly and cut into slices. Arrange on plates together with the rocket and the topping. Flavour with a little fleur de sel and a little lemon juice.
