Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler on high and position the oven rack about 4-6 inches from the heating element.
2. Marinate the Tuna:
- In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 minced garlic clove.
- Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon-garlic marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Allow the tuna to marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Line a broiler pan or a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Place the marinated tuna steaks on the prepared pan.
- Broil the tuna steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness. The fish should be opaque and flaky on the inside, with slightly browned edges.
- Remove the broiled tuna steaks from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Plate the tuna steaks and optionally drizzle with any remaining marinade from the dish.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the tuna steaks are of even thickness to promote uniform cooking.
- Marinate the tuna with lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic for at least 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat the broiler to ensure it reaches the desired temperature before cooking the tuna steaks.
- Place the tuna steaks on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Broil the tuna steaks for about 1 minute on each side if you prefer them rare; adjust cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
- Watch the tuna closely while broiling to avoid overcooking, as tuna can quickly become dry.
- Garnish the broiled tuna with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
