This was a "make it up as you go" recipe for dinner tonight.  Learn from my mistakes.

Ingredients
3 tuna steaks, about 7-8 oz each
1 orange
1 lemon
1 lime
2 cloves garlic
fresh dill
1 tbsp butter
black pepper

Non-standard supplies
Parchment paper
Microplane

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Zest all three citrus fruits into a bowl
  3. Zest the garlic into the same bowl
  4. Add black pepper to mix as desired
  5. Obtain 3 thin slices of each citrus, setting remaining fruit to the side.
  6. Cut 3 sheets parchment into ovals (think high school running track) by folding a footlong sheet in half then cutting
  7. Place 2 sprigs fresh dill on each parchment.  Top with some of the zest mixture
  8. Place tuna steaks on seasoning.
  9. Dot with butter
  10. Spread remaining zest across tops of tuna
