1
Prepare the Tuna
If using fresh albacore tuna, rinse it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using canned tuna, drain and set aside.
2
Marinate the Tuna
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. If using capers, add them to the mixture. Add the tuna to the bowl and coat it well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
3
Cook the Tuna
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using fresh tuna, grill or pan-sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. If using canned tuna, simply heat in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
4
Serve
Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice if necessary and serve with your favorite sides.
