Categories Tuna

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb albacore tuna steak, 1-2 inches thick
1/2 lb low-sodium bacon
garlic powder
seasoning salt
cooking spray

Steps:

Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.

In a small saute pan over high heat, melt the butter and cook it until it turns a deep rich brown. As soon as the butter turns brown, stir in the parsley, tarragon, and chives and remove from the heat. Spoon the butter over the tuna mixture and serve immediately with 1 apple slice on the side.
