Once again, we were gifted with some fresh fish that
Mike’s stepdad brought down from Alaska.
This time: tuna!
We also received a bunch of other produce, which included
these tomatoes! I love the little yellow
grape tomatoes so much that we ended up not having very many for the salad…hehe
Here is the salad:
As for the grilled tuna, I have found what I like to do
best is search for a recipe similar to what’s in my head, read through it, and then
basically do my own thing. It usually
works, but not always. ;)
Here is “my” recipe:
1 medium tomato,
chopped
Several lemon
tomatoes (yum!)
¼ c. crumbled feta
cheese
3 T. chopped fresh
basil or oregano leaves
¼ c. olive oil
½ t. garlic salt
¼ t. pepper
4 tuna steaks, 1
inch thick (about 2 pounds)
In a medium bowl,
gently toss tomatoes, cheese, and 1 tablespoon of the basil. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Spray grill rack
with cooking spray. Heat coals or gas
grill for direct heat.
In a small bowl,
mix remaining 2 tablespoons basil, the oil, garlic salt, and pepper. Brush mixture over tuna.
Grill tuna
uncovered and 4 inches from medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Turn carefully; brush with any remaining oil
mixture. Grill 10-15 minutes longer or
until tuna flakes easily with a fork.
Serve topped with tomato mixture.
