Tuna Fillets with Oregano in Olive Oil

Tuna is a versatile and nutritious fish that can be prepared in a variety of delicious ways. One such method is to marinate tuna fillets in a simple mixture of olive oil, oregano, and other seasonings. This recipe highlights the natural flavors of the tuna while adding a touch of Mediterranean flair.

Ingredients: - 4 tuna fillets (about 1 lb/450g total) - 1/2 cup (120ml) extra-virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh oregano leaves, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon zest - 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice - 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) salt - 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a shallow baking dish or resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the tuna fillets and turn to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning the fillets occasionally.

2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Transfer the tuna fillets, along with the marinade, to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tuna is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the tuna, as it's best served slightly pink in the center.

4. Carefully transfer the tuna fillets to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the baking sheet over the top.

Serve the tuna fillets warm, accompanied by your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful olive oil marinade.

The combination of the tender, flaky tuna, the fragrant oregano, and the rich olive oil creates a delightful and healthy meal. The lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy note that balances the dish perfectly.

This tuna recipe is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a more sophisticated weekend meal. It's also a fantastic choice for entertaining, as the fillets can be easily plated and served to impress your guests.

Whether you're a tuna lover or looking to incorporate more seafood into your diet, this Tuna Fillets with Oregano in Olive Oil dish is sure to become a new favorite in your culinary repertoire.
