Tuna Steak With Herbs - {Tonno Alle Erbe} Recipe - Cooking Index
While fish has become prohibitively expensive in Italy, it remains a very popular item in the markets and on most restaurant menus. Tuna, swordfish, and salmon are particularly good choices for this easy preparation -- and one that you can get ready the night before. A hot cast-iron skillet cooks the fish best; if you do not have one, cook the fish on a hot grill.
Cuisine: Italian| 1 | Garlic clove - peeled and minced | |
| Leaves from 2 thyme sprigs | ||
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Fine sea salt |
| Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
| 1 1/4 lbs | 567g / 20oz | Tuna steak - cut into 4 pieces |
| 8 | Basil leaves - torn into pieces |
In a glass casserole dish large enough to hold the fish, place the garlic, thyme, oil, sea salt, and pepper; mix well. Place the fish on top and turn to coat on both sides. Marinate the fish, covered, for 2 hours, turning the pieces occasionally.
Heat a cast-iron skillet until very hot. Add the fish and cook over high heat about 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
Sprinkle the basil on top and serve the fish immediately.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
