Broiled Tuna with Tarragon Sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Position an oven rack roughly 6 inches from the heat element and turn on the broiler
Step 2
Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and saute for 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour in the wine, stock, and half the chopped tarragon, letting it boil for a couple of minutes.
Step 4
Filter out the solids and return the liquid to the pan.
Step 5
Stir in the mustard briefly. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture until you achieve the preferred thickness. Take off the heat and keep aside.
Step 6
Arrange the fillets on a lubricated baking tray. Gently rub the entire tarragon branches over each side of the fillets. Mist some oil atop the fillets and season with a dash of pepper.

Place under the broiler for around 4 to 5 minutes. Flip them, mist with additional oil, and continue broiling until the meat begins to flake.
Step 8
Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to retain warmth.
Step 9
Warm the sauce again, mix in the yogurt and the rest of the chopped tarragon, and let it boil. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over the fillets.
