Broiled Tuna With Lemon Caper Sauce

 

• Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoon capers, drained and rinsed, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
• olive oil
• 4 tuna steaks
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

Heat broiler. Oil the rack of a broiler pan and place in the oven. In a small skillet over low heat, melt butter; add garlic, lemon juice, zest, and capers. Simmer for 30 seconds. Stir in parsley. Remove from heat.
Rub olive oil over the tuna steaks; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange tuna on the hot prepared pan. Broil about 6 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning carefully about halfway through the cooking time. The tuna steaks should still be somewhat pink in the middle, depending on how you like your fresh tuna done. Drizzle warmed lemon caper sauce over the tuna steaks before serving.
Serves 4.
