The sauce was to die for. SOOOOO good! The tuna was a little more done than I prefer so I think next time I will cook the tuna after I make the sauce because it ended up sitting in the oven for a while. I made it for my husband with chicken because he doesn’t like fish and he thought it was really good too.
