Tender tuna
Step by step recipe:
- 5 min.
- 5 min.
Prepare the marinade by mixing 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons herbs of your choice, salt and pepper. - 30 min.
Put the tuna to marinate and leave for at least 30 minutes. - 2 min.
Heat a frying pan on medium heat without adding any fat. When hot, add the tuna. Cook for 2 minutes on the first side, then turn. - 7 min.
For perfectly cooked fish, stick an electronic thermometer into the centre of the tuna and watch the temperature. The fish will be perfectly cooked when it reaches 158°F (70°C).
Turn off the heat immediately and leave the fish in the pan for a further 3 minutes to cook gently for a little longer. 
Serve immediately with whatever accompaniment you choose. Here it is served with a red cabbage and walnut salad.
Remarks:
It is not easy (maybe impossible even?) to give a precise cooking time for tuna, as this will depend on your hob and the thickness of the fish. This is why a thermometer is particularly useful in this recipe.Source:
