GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

- Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from heat source.

GRILLED TUNA WITH GARLIC
Steps:
- Preheat the grill on medium high.
- Cut each garlic clove lengthwise into 5 or 6 slices.
- Put the fish on a flat surface. With the tip of a sharp knife, make one short, 1/4-inch-deep cut in the fish for each slice of garlic. With your thumb, insert a garlic slice into each cut.
- Lightly spray both sides of the fish with olive oil spray. Place on the grill. Don't pat or move the fish until it's ready to turn, 3 minutes for medium rare to 10 minutes for well done. Turn over. Cook for about 2 minutes for medium rare to about 5 minutes for well done. Serve with the lemon wedges.
- Cook's Tip
- Vary the flavor of this dish by sprinkling a fresh herb, such as rosemary or dillweed, or some coarsely ground pepper over the tuna before grilling it.
