1 pound(s) uncooked yellowfin tuna, one steak cut 1- to 1-1/2 inches thick
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 Tbsp salted butter, softened
1 Tbsp chives, fresh, finely chopped
1 Tbsp parsley, fresh, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 tsp lime zest, fresh, minced
1/4 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or more to taste
1 pound(s) fresh spinach, baby-variety, steamed

Steps:

Drizzle both sides of fish with oil and lime juice; set aside. Off heat, coat grill with cooking spray; preheat grill to high. Meanwhile, in a small metal bowl, combine softened butter, chives, parsley, tarragon, lime zest, salt and pepper; set aside. Cook tuna on one side for 3 minutes; carefully flip and cook on other side for 3 more minutes for rare, or longer until desired degree of doneness. Place bowl containing butter mixture on grill just until it melts - you don't want to cook it. Thinly slice tuna and serve over spinach; drizzle melted herb butter over top. Yields about 3 ounces of tuna and 1/4 of spinach per serving.
