    * Make small slits in the tuna steaks with a knife and insert a sliver of garlic into each slit. Heat a browning dish for 3 minutes on High. Drop in 1T butter and the peeled onions. Heat for 1-2 minutes on High, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown. Pour in the water and wine.

    * Transfer the contents of the browning dish to a large casserole. Add the bay leaf and fish to the casserole, cover loosely and cook for 5 minutes on High. Remove the fish and onions from the casserole and keep them warm.

    * Melt 1T butter in small, deep bowl for 30 seconds on High. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes on High or until flour is lightly browned.

    * Pour in the cooking liquid from the fish, and add the tomato paste and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes on High, stirring occasionally until thickened. Add the parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and set aside with the fish. Melt the remaining butter in a small casserole on High for 30 seconds. Put in the spinach, cover loosely and cook for 1-2 minutes on High. Spread the spinach onto a serving plate and combine the fish and sauce to re-heat for 30 seconds on High. Arrange the fish and onions on top of the bed of spinach and pour the sauce over to serve.
