Roast tuna salad for Major Tom? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astronaut

'major tom?' is the definition.
(Major Tom, astronaut in David Bowie songs)

'roast tuna salad' is the wordplay.
'salad' indicates anagramming the letters (salad can refer to a mixture).
'roast'+'tuna'='roasttuna'
'roasttuna' is an anagram of 'ASTRONAUT'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for astronaut that I've seen before include "One travelling in space" , "Skier" , "Armstrong or Sharman, say" , "High-flyer" , "high flier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
