Baked Tuna Steaks Italian Style

This delicious seafood dish is quick and easy to make. I have just made it for the first time and could not resist sharing the experience.

All you need is:

• 0.7 - 1 lb of fish ( I've used Ahi Tuna)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cut white vinegar
• 2.5-3 tbsp of finely minced fresh basil leaves
  
• 2.5-3 tbsp of finely minced fresh garlic (about 5-6 cloves)
• salt, pepper, thyme by taste

Instructions:

• mix all ingredients but fish
• pour the mix over the fish steaks, let it marinate for 30 minutes
• bake in the oven at 420 degrees for about 10-15 minutes
• let the oil boil for a bit
• be very careful when taking out of the oven, hot oil can cause bad burns
  

Serve hot over potatoes or rice. I also like to pour the oil over the side dish.

You may be tempted to try using pre-minced garlic or dried basil leaves, but I suspect that the result is not going to be the same. Fresh ingredients are very important here, IMHO.
