Marinated Tuna

• 1/4 cup picholine olive brine
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
• 1 pound sushi-quality yellow fin tuna, thinly sliced across the grain
• 3 ounces (about 18) picholine olives, pitted and slivered
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
• 2 Meyer lemons, zested

1. In a glass baking dish or a wide, shallow, nonreactive bowl, mix together olive brine and lemon juice.
2. Gently toss in tuna slices and olive slivers.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, occasionally moving tuna slices around gently in marinade to ensure that slices cure evenly.
4. Just before serving, strain the tuna slices from marinade.
5. Divide tuna between 4 to 6 appetizer plates.
6. Spoon a little marinade (with olive slivers) over the tuna.
7. Grind black pepper, to taste, over each serving.
8. Garnish with fennel and lemon zest, and serve immediately.
