BROILED TUNA WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER
Serve with: Couscous with lentils. Dessert: Purchased lemon cheesecake. Or Heather's safe cheesecake recipe!
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature use much less, and a soy / safe substitute
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon country-style Dijon mustard
4 6-ounce ahi tuna fillets (each about 1 1/2 inches thick)
Olive oil
4 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices sourdough baguette I kept it simple with regular toast
Mix butter, rosemary, and mustard in small dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler. Brush tuna on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread some rosemary butter on 1 side of each baguette slice. Broil tuna to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Broil baguette slices until beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side. Top each tuna fillet with dollop of rosemary butter. Serve with baguette slices.
Test-kitchen tip: Tuna dries out if it is overcooked, so many people prefer this meaty fish still slightly pink in the center. Check doneness by using a sharp knife to make a small cut in the center of the fillets.
Makes 4 servings.

This came out so juicy and delicious. I rubbed it with olive oil, salt, and lots of pepper, broiled it for 5 min on each side. You might want a little less cooking time if you are using fresh fish -- mine had been frozen. After it came out, I topped it with a little of the butter/mustard mix, spread the rest on the toast, and it was fabulous. If you are ever in the mood for a big juicy steak, just make this recipe and pretend. It totally satisfied my meat cravings!
