Tuna is rich in omega-3 oils and can be a great source of lean protein. This grilled tuna with Mediterranean herbs recipe uses no salt in the marinade, just oil and herbs. Salt pulls moisture...

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons oregano, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme or rosemary, chopped
  • 1 scallion, white parts and green, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. In a dish just large enough to fit the tuna steaks snugly in one layer, mix together the parsley, oregano, thyme, scallions, and oil.
  2. When well blended, lay the tuna steaks on top, turning to coat them all over with the herb mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, turning them once.
  3. Heat a stovetop cast iron grill. If a drop of water dropped on it evaporates immediately, it’s ready. Add the tuna steaks and sprinkle with a little salt. Cook 5 minutes on one side then flip and cook the steaks 3 to 5 minutes on the other. A shorter cooking time on the second side will give you a rarer steak. When ready, carve the tuna into ¼-inch slices. Serve immediately.
