Tuna Gremolato

Don't worry - I shan't post many recipes! This is tasty, colourful and very healthy.

4 tuna steaks
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp soy sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper

for the gremolata


2 large red peppers
large bunch flat parsley, finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated

for the garnish


lemon wedges

Place the steaks in a shallow, non reactive dish in a single layer. Mix together the lemon juice, paprika and soy sauce and season well. Spoon this over the steaks, cover and leave to marinate 15 - 20 mins.

Meanwhile, make the gremolata. Place the peppers under a hot grill, turning often until blackened and blistered. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the skin, saving any juices from the peppers in a bowl. De-seed and finely chop the peppers and add to the bowl with the parsley, red onion, lemon zest and juice and garlic. Season well and toss to combine.

Heat a non-stick ridged griddle pan until very hot. Add the fish and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked through. Serve immediately with the gremolata spooned over and garnish with lemon wedges.
