Heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Pan-fry the fish over medium heat, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, and remove to a warm plate. Do not overcook. Discard half the oil and return the pan to the heat. Add the onion, chicken stock, vinegar, and black pepper to taste. Saute for about 5 minutes until the onion just becomes tender and the sauce reduces a bit. Add the parsley and salt to taste. Spoon the sauce over the warm fish and serve. Comments: This dish is easy to prepare and simply delicious. But the tuna must be fresh. Need I tell you not to overcook tuna? The center should be soft and moist, not dry and firm.
