TUNA STEAK WITH DALMATIAN LEMON-GARLIC SAUCE



Tuna Steak With Dalmatian Lemon-Garlic Sauce image

For this meal you can use any kind of tuna, Blue Merlin, or "palamida" fish (something like white tuna, I do not know the English name) which you can find in Adriatic Sea. Lemon-garlic sauce is also sauce you can use for any kind of grilled fish, although you must be careful if you use white meat fish with delicate flavor - garlic can overcome so you will not taste the fish at all. In the photo I have submitted there is this "palamida" fish.

TUNA WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE



Tuna with Tomato-Basil Sauce image

Categories     Fish     Tomato     Sauté     Basil     Tuna     Spring     Bon Appétit

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 cup fresh basil, torn into bite-size pieces
4 6-ounce tuna steaks (each about 1 inch thick)
Fresh basil sprigs

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, parsley and garlic. Sauté until onion is tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaf.

  • Transfer tuna to platter. Spoon sauce over tuna. Garnish with basil sprigs.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tuna steaks possible. Look for steaks that are bright red in color and have a mild, fishy smell.
  • Sear the tuna steaks over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to keep the steaks moist and flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce. A simple tomato sauce made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs is perfect for this dish.
  • Don't overcook the tuna steaks. Tuna steaks should be cooked for only a few minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through. Overcooked tuna steaks will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the tuna steaks immediately with your favorite sides. Rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables are all great options.
