Tuna with Horseradish, Lemon and Mustard

This was published in the Washington Post a few weeks ago. I finally got around to whipping this bad boy up ...and it was pretty dang fab. Sweet, sour and spicy - the perfect combination in my book!
From my table to yours...

Tuna with Horseradish, Lemon and Mustard
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 T prepared horseradish
  • 7 ounces plain low-fat Greek-style yogurt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 t hot English mustard
  • 1 t red wine vinegar
  • Leaves from 3 sprigs of flat leave parsley (save some for garnish too)
  • 1 1/2 # piece of tuna
  • Kosher salt

Directions

  • Move the oven rack to 5 inches from the broiler; preheat broiler.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Combine the horseradish and yogurt. Add pepper to taste.
  • Using a grater, zest the lemon (2t) then squeeze the juice (3-4T) into a small bowl. Stir in the mustard and vinegar.
  • Add to the lemon-mustard mixture to the horseradish mixture to form a sauce.
  • Coarsely chop the parsley to yield 1 1/2 T, then add to the horseradish mixture.
  • Taste; the sauce should be hot, sour and salty. Some of the horseradish heat will mellow as the fish cooks.
  • Cut the tuna into 4 steaks of equal size. Season lightly with S&P and arrange on baking sheet.
  • Use all of the sauce to cover the top of each piece of fish.
  • Broil for 5 or 6 min (if you like your tuna on the rare side)
  • The sauce should be slightly caramelized on the top.

Serve smoking hot!
