Tuna in Braised Red Onions

Braising the red onion with a little lemon juice will make the red onion release its natural sweetness. This sweet onion can accompany any kind of fish to bake in the oven and is definitely well worth trying.

Ingredients:
2 tuna fillets
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs butter
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbs fresh chopped thyme
1 tbs fresh chopped chives
1 tsp salt and pepper
1/4 cup red wine

Directions:
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add red onions, thyme, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the onion with all the seasonings. Sauté' until soft. Cover and lower the heat, stirring occasionally to keep the onion from browning. It takes about 20 minutes.
Season the tuna with salt and pepper on both sides. Divide the soft onion into equal portions.
Layer the soft onion in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with fish. Add red wine to each fish. Bake in preheated oven at 375°. Uncover until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. It takes about 15 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
