In a heavy skillet, preferably non-stick, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over

minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. While the tuna

tablespoons oil, blending the dressing until it is emulsified. Transfer the

tablespoons of the roasted peppers and 1 tablespoon of the scallion. Spoon
the dressing over the tuna, garnish the tuna with the additional roasted
peppers and scallion, and serve it with the lemon wedges.
