A simple dish but full of flavor. Tomatoes and basil are a perfect mix, especially during the summer months when they are in season!

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper (generously) over the 4 tuna fillets. Cook the fillets in the skillet until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Wipe the skillet lightly with a paper towel and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook the finely chopped onion until soft, about 6-8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine, and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat and let the sauce thicken for another 5 minutes. Add the basil and let it cook. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the tuna fillets and drizzle sauce over each one.
