CRUSTY BROILED TUNA STEAKS

Crusty Broiled Tuna Steaks image

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tuna or swordfish steaks (1 inch thick)
3/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
lemon wedges

Steps:

1 Preheat the broiler. Oil the broiler pan. In a bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, parsley, mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the oil, or enough to moisten the crumbs. 2 Arrange the fish steaks on the broiler pan. Scatter half of the crumbs on top of the fish, patting them in. 3 Broil the steaks about 6 inches from the flame 3 minutes, or until the crumbs are browned. Carefully turn the steaks with a metal spatula and sprinkle with the remaining crumbs. Broil 2 to 3 minutes more or until still pink in the center, or until done to taste. Test for doneness by making a small cut in the thickest part of the fish. 4 Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Serve hot, with lemon wedges. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
