Recipe: Tuna Puttanesca — Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn

Pin it button big

Tuna, swordfish, and salmon are all hearty enough in flavor and texture to work really well with this robust sauce. By all means, make a double batch and use leftovers later in the week, tossed with pasta for a side dish. You may alternatively grill the fish, either outdoors or on a grill pan.

Tester's Notes

The photographer for this recipe, who eats gluten free, was super excited when she realized this wasn't a traditional pasta puttanesca recipe! The same bright, bold flavors are there in the sauce, though, and it was a snap to cook since the sauce wasn't slow cooked.

Serves 4

4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 anchovy fillet, drained and minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon drained capers
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or to taste)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until nearly at desired degree of doneness. (It will continue cooking a little more as it sits). Remove from the pan and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Add the garlic and anchovy and cook, stirring, 1 minute, until garlic is no longer raw. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 2 minutes. Serve the topping over the fish; sprinkle with the parsley.
