2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (6-ounce) tuna steaks
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 heirloom or plum tomato, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the steaks: Combine lemon zest, oil, salt, and pepper and marinate the steaks for 10 to 30 minutes (but no longer than 30 minutes or the fish will start to break down.)

  • To serve, thinly slice the heirloom or plum tomato and place 4 slices on each plate. Mound the salad in the middle and sprinkle with the remaining oil.
