Ingredients

• 2 pieces fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lay out two sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to fully wrap each tuna steak.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the center of each sheet of foil.

Step 4

Place a tuna steak on each foil sheet and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Slice the lemon in half. Use one half to squeeze fresh juice over both tuna steaks. Slice the other half into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 6

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, then sprinkle evenly over the tuna steaks.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it, alongside the fresh thyme, over the tuna.

Step 8

Place a small pat of butter (about half a tablespoon) on top of each tuna steak.

Step 9

Top each steak with 2-3 thin slices of lemon.

Step 10

Fold each piece of foil over the tuna, sealing the edges to create a tightly closed packet.

Step 11

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tuna is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 13

Carefully remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before opening.

Step 14

Serve the tuna directly from the foil for a rustic presentation, or transfer it to a plate with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
