1 1/3 lb skinless Pacific albacore, cut into 3/4 inch thick loin cuts
2 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil
1/8 tspt black pepper
1/8 tsp salt

2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 medium onion, sliced into thin half-hings

Directions:

Rinse albacore with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Make vinaigrette by combining oil, lemon juice, pepper, salt, oregano and cayenne; mix well. Divide in half.
Marinate albacore in one-half of the vinaigrette for 30 minutes, turning once.
While fish is marinating, make Sautéed Red Peppers. In non-stick pan, sauté garlic and onion in oil until onion is translucent.
Stir in red peppers and remove from heat.
Set aside.
Drain albacore reserving marinade.
Lightly oil the cooking grids.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Cook 5-6 minutes, turning once and basting frequently. Do not overcook! Albacore should be pink in center when removed from the heat.
Toast rolls lightly on grill.
Brush toasted sides with remaining vinaigrette.
Make four open-faced sandwiches by topping with albacore, Sautéed Red Peppers and fresh basil.
Serve immediately.
