Escabeche
- 1 pound tuna fillet of, sliced
- 1/4 cup kosher salt

- Cut fish fillets into 1 inch thick slices. Combine the 1/4 cup salt with 4 cups of water, stir to combine and brine the fish in this mixture for 30-45 minutes. Then remove fish from brine, drain on a paper towel and pat dry.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the mashed garlic cloves and 2 bay leaves. Cook in the oil over medium heat until the garlic browns, but don't let the garlic burn or it will turn bitter. Remove the bay leaves and discard.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook the fish to a good sear You want a good sear on each side of the fish for 1-3 minutes, depending on the thickness. You don't need to cook the fish all the way through.
- Remove the fish to cool, then add the sliced onion, lower the heat to medium and cook until translucent. Remove to cool.
- Now add all the remaining ingredients, turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil then turn off the heat and let cool.
- When everything is at room temperature, pour the sauce into a non-reactive container and add the fish and onions. Store in the refigerator overnight before serving. Will keep refrigerated for up to a week.
