I bought fresh Tuna fillets that were on special at a supermarket, and later I realised they were not very fresh at all. They smelled fishy. If you cook not-so-fresh Tuna that smells fishy, I recommend to blanch it first, then simmer in a sauce. I would rather season it strongly.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Cut tuna fillets into bite-size pieces, blanch in boiling water in a saucepan until the surface changes colour, then drain. This process reduces the fishy smell.
2

Place all the sauce ingredients in the saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Add the drained tuna pieces, and simmer, turning the tuna pieces occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes OR until the sauce is reduced, depending on how strong the flavour you like.
