Ingredients

  • Wild Albacore Tuna

  2. Pat albacore tuna completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Lightly coat with oil and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  4. Place tuna on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 6–8 minutes depending on thickness (about 8–10 minutes per inch guideline).
