Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the potatoes on a large, microwaveable plate and prick all over with a fork. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and season generously with sea salt. Microwave for 7 mins on high. Turn over, then microwave for another 7 mins.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray, drizzle with another 2 tsp olive oil and bake for 15 mins to crisp up.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix the tuna, pesto, salad cheese, parsley, spring onions and half the lemon juice in a bowl; set aside.
Toss the salad with the remaining lemon juice and olive oil; season. Split the potatoes and fluff the flesh with a fork. Spoon the filling into the potatoes and serve with the salad.
