- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

You're perfectly happy eating regular canned tuna until the day you taste the imported, olive oil-packed tuna and realize exactly what you've been missing. You tell people that there's nothing better, but that's not entirely true — this poached tuna with garlic and thyme is better! By gently poaching fresh ahi tuna in olive oil, you can create a tuna fish of exceptional quality. The taste and texture are amazing, and you can adapt this recipe in many ways. Besides switching up herbs and seasonings, you can cook the fish to a wide range of doneness.
