Salmon or Tuna Steak With Garlic and Parsley

Discovered this recipe in The Great Victorian Cookbook by John Midgley, published in 1995...Placed here for safekeeping! Adapted for tuna or salmon instead of the hake steaks that the recipe originally called for I always enjoy this light dish with a steamed thai vegetable mix that I get in the organic section of the supermarket and some sweet iced tea...

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2  salmon steaks or 2  tuna steaks
•  salt (optional)

2. Place in a small shallow oven-proof dish, then season with salt and pepper; drizzle with half of the olive oil and all of the wine or grape juice.
3. Bake 20 minutes, basting every 5 minutes; when the fish is ready, place each fish steak on a plate and keep warm.
4. Heat the remaining olive oil in a small skillet; gently saute the garlic until lightly golden, do NOT burn or it will be bitter!
