While this is not very well written, I cobbled my version and came out with a delicious dinner.
I mixed the sauce ingredients together then put them in a baking dish with the fish and baked at 425 for about 12 minutes. I also reduced the amount of vinegar and olive oil to 1/3 cup.
Served with black rice - very good.
The recipe is incomprehensible.
For 1 pound fresh, wild, high quality tuna steak, I cut the marinade in half. I used 2 TBSP vinegar. I added some hot red pepper. I agree that sesame or canola better than olive oil. I used a little of the sauce for a brief marinade and I baked the fish with the marinade at 425 until the center was pink, not red. I sautéed shiitake mushrooms in oil (canola) and added a bit of the sauce when they were nearly cooked. That helped soften them. Served it on a bed of fresh, barely wilted spinach.
This recipe is fabulous as is! Since I didn't have shallots, I used a small onion. It was quick to make since almost everything goes into the food processor. I expect to make this sauce for many other fish dishes.
