Seared Tuna with Lemon Dressing

1. 1

   For the dressing, mix the lemon juice, salt and pepper, and 4 tablespoons olive oil, then stir in the chopped parsley or dill.

2. 2

   Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large, preferably nonstick, skillet.

3. 3

   Put in the tuna steaks and cook them over high heat for less than 1 minute on each side, sprinkling them lightly with salt.

4. 4

   To test for doneness, cut into one with a pointed knife; the time depends on the thickness of the steak.

5. 5

   It should be uncooked and red inside.

6. 6

   If you prefer it less rare, cook it only a tiny bit longer.

7. 7

   You can easily spoil tuna by overcooking it.

8. 8

   Serve the tuna steaks with the dressing poured over.
