Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless yellowfin (ahi) or albacore tuna fillet (1 in. thick), in one piece
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground white peppercorns
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground fennel seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 sprigs each flat-leaf parsley and fresh mint
  • 2 small garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 3 wide strips lemon zest
  • 3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
  • 16 baguette slices
  • Minced flat-leaf parsley, radishes, and green olives, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut tuna in half lengthwise. Combine spices in a small bowl. Season tuna all over with spices and put in a 4- by 8-in. loaf pan. Chill, covered, 3 to 5 hours.
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 300°. Add bay leaf, herb sprigs, garlic, and zest to tuna, tucking them around fish; pour in enough oil to cover by 1/4 in.
  3. 3
    Bake tuna 25 minutes, uncovered, lowering heat if necessary to keep oil from boiling. Let tuna cool to room temperature in oil.
  4. 4
    Lift one piece of tuna from oil; separate into thick flakes. Top baguette slices with tuna, using more if needed, and arrange on a platter with olives and radishes. Scatter minced parsley over platter. Drizzle tuna with some of the oil, and flick some oil onto the olives and radishes too.
  5. 5
    Make ahead: Through step 3, up to 10 days, chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
