1 lb. fresh tuna (4 pieces)
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Sweet red pepper slivers & lime wedges, garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If necessary, trim dark parts from tuna. In a small bowl, combine thyme, oil and black pepper into a smooth paste and rub into each piece of fish.

Place fish in an ovenproof glass baking dish and bake uncovered until cooked through, 30-45 minutes, depending on thickness. Place fish on serving platter and serve hot, strewn with pepper slivers, with lime wedges on the side. Serves 4.
