Categories     Garlic     Side     Dinner     Tuna

Yield serves 4, 3 ounces fish per serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 medium garlic cloves
1 1-pound tuna steak, rinsed and patted dry
Olive oil spray
1 medium lemon, cut into 4 wedges (optional)

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.
