Caper-Rosemary Tuna with Herb Salad image

For such a rich fish, tuna is a good team player-it takes well to all kinds of seasoning. Here, I give it some tang by marinating it with lemon juice and zest, onions, capers, rosemary, and the most surprising ingredient: some of the juice from the caper jar. Have fun playing around with the herbs in the salad; just make sure not to toss them with the dressing until you're ready to serve-tender leaves wilt quickly.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Tuna:
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons drained capers
4 teaspoons liquid from capers in jar
4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Large pinch of dried crushed red pepper
Pinch of sugar
1 small onion, quartered through core, thinly sliced crosswise (1 scant cup)
6 6-to 7-ounce 1-inch-thick tuna steaks
Salad:
2 cups (loosely packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/2 cup (loosely packed) assorted fresh herb leaves (such as tarragon, chervil, oregano, celery leaves, and marjoram)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • For tuna:
  • Whisk first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in onion. Transfer mixture to resealable plastic bag. Add tuna and seal bag, releasing any excess air; turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour, turning occasionally. (Alternatively, chill 4 hours, turning occasionally, then allow to return to room temperature before continuing.)
  • For salad:
  • Mix parsley and other herbs in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and chill while preparing fish.
  • Prepare barbecue (high heat). Brush grill rack with oil. Remove tuna from bag, scraping excess marinade back into bag. Grill until grill marks appear but tuna is still rare in centers, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.
  • Pour marinade into small saucepan. Bring just to simmer.
  • Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil and lemon juice over herb salad; toss to coat. Place 1 tuna steak on each plate. Spoon warm marinade over. Divide herb salad among plates.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of tuna. It was still delicious!

I added a bit of lemon zest to the caper-rosemary sauce, and it really brightened up the flavor. I also used a mix of fresh herbs in the salad, including basil, parsley, and mint.

I didn't have any fresh rosemary on hand, so I used dried rosemary instead. It still turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of capers next time.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but this recipe changed my mind. The caper-rosemary sauce is amazing, and it really masks the fishy flavor of the tuna. The herb salad is also a nice addition, adding a bit of crunch and freshness. I'll definitely be making
