Baked Yellowfin Tuna Chops Recipe

Ingredients
8 (1/2-inch thick) yellowfin tuna steaks
6 to 8 potatoes, quartered
3 medium onions, sliced
2 cups pea pods, julienned
1 shot sherry
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
2 Tbsp garlic, crushed
1 can pineapple, crushed


Instructions
Prepare marinade by mixing pineapple, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Marinate tuna steaks for at least one hour.

Place potatoes and onions in a baking pan. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake at 375 degrees F until the potatoes are slightly underdone (a fork should go in easily almost to the center, but not completely).

Remove excess marinade from tuna steaks. Sear for one (1) minute each side over high heat.

Place seared tuna steaks over potatoes and onions, and sprinkle pea pods over all. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F.

it has great flavour alone but you can add a little sauce if you wish light sweet soy sauce or a citrus sauce of some kind
