Capers and lemon make a tangy and tasty sauce which complements broiled tuna steaks perfectly. Feel free to cook the tuna on the grill or in a stovetop grill pan.

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.

Good and Quick...May 15, 2008By CieraAngel
"I liked this recipe but for move flavor...what I did is marinated the fish in the lemon and seasonings (without the butter) in the morning and cooked it for dinner. I removed the fish and cooked it in a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. after the fish kinda cooked on both sides, I poured the remainder of the marinade inside the pan and let it simmer until I felt it was done. My husband loved it!"
