Baked Fish Recipes- Fresh Tuna Steak w/Hollandaise Sauce





Ingredients:
  • 2 lb. tuna steaks
  • 2 TBS. (plus 1 TBS.) olive oil
  • 2 TBS. (plus 3 TBS.) lemon juice
  • 1-2 carrots, peeled
  • 2-3 zucchinis
  • 2 lb. tuna or salmon steaks, or fillets, or fish of your choice
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 c. butter (or substitute olive oil)
  • 3 TBS. lemon juice



Tuna Steaks

Time permitting, marinate tuna steaks a day ahead of time. Use: > 2 lb. tuna steaks > 2 TBS. olive oil > 2 TBS. lemon juice

If lacking time, the tuna should still be fairly tender, even if you bake it without marinating it. Prepare veggies, to layer onto a large piece of foil, under the fish. By grating them, they should get done in the same length of time as the fish (unless you eat your fish quite rare.) Grate: > 1-2 carrots, peeled > 2-3 zucchinis

Place grated veggies on large piece of aluminum foil, sprinkling with: > 1 TBS. or so olive oil

On top of veggies, place: > 2 lb. tuna or salmon steaks, or fillets, or fish of your choice (marinated, if possible)

If not marinated, top with: > 1 TBS. more olive oil > juice from 1-2 lemons

Pull up corners of wrap to enclose ingredients; fish will stay moist this way. Place on baking sheet, or big pan; cook in oven at 375 degrees for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on thickness of fish and how well done you like it. Meanwhile, prepare sauce. To serve, arrange grated veggies on plate, add fish (removing skin if necessary). Add sauce and a bit of parsley, as desired.


Hollandaise Sauce


Mix in smaller ceramic bowl: > 2 egg yolks

In separate bowl (glass measuring cup works well), microwave 30-60 seconds to melt: > 1/2 c. butter (or substitute olive oil) > 3 TBS. lemon juice

Slowly add melted butter/lemon to the yolk mixture. Microwave entire mixture 10-15 seconds only. Stir it well, then microwave another 10-15 seconds, just until mixture gets hot and thickens. This is the tricky part. You have to cook it without letting it get too hot. Some microwaves are more powerful than others, but with a little patience, you can keep checking on your sauce, waiting out those few seconds at the microwave. It still beats stirring and stirring the whole thing over the stove, and then having to clean out the pan! With slower microwaves, you may have to put it in one last time, but do just 10-15 second increments. It'll be perfect when it seems hot and has thickened a bit. It also continues cooking a bit on its own; don't overcook it! If you've made the sauce with olive oil, add 1/2 tsp. salt.

Serve the fish on the bed of grated veggies, topped with sauce, and chopped chives and lemon peel, if desired
