Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 lemon slices
Coarse salt
8 ounces tuna steak
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground pepper
8 slices Classic Bruschetta

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 to 3/4 cup oil (enough to cover tuna) and the lemon slices in a small saucepan over very low heat until warm. Generously salt tuna steak. Poach tuna in oil, turning once, until opaque on the outside but still a bit pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove tuna from pan, reserving oil; flake fish with a fork. Pass poaching oil through a fine sieve into a medium bowl; stir in flaked tuna, lemon zest, and capers. Season with pepper. Spoon mixture onto bruschetta slices, and drizzle with some of the poaching oil.
