Preheat broiler. Brush tuna on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread some rosemary butter on 1 side of each baguette slice.

Serve with baguette slices.

Serve With: Couscous with lentils. Dessert: Purchased lemon cheesecake.

Test-Kitchen Tip: Tuna dries out if it is overcooked, so many people prefer this meaty fish still slightly pink in the center. Check doneness by using a sharp knife to make a small cut in the center of the fillets.
