Exeptional: Easy sophisticated and high in protein. The olive relish is a perfect compliment. I used cilantro instead of parsley just because that's what I had at home. Turned out great. I seasoned the tuna with lemon pepper and used an indoor griddle/grill to sear the tuna. Took only about 2 minutes because it heats from the top and the bottom at the same time. Pros: Easy worthy of company with a sophisticated palate Cons: None Read More

Fresh grilled tuna is... awesome. When done right you don't need anything. Just be aware to not overcook otherwise it may as well be a piece of wood (hard and DRY). The relish is somewhat questionable. Some of us DON'T LIKE garlic. Period. A little is okay for slight seasoning but just enough where you can't overtly detect the GARLIC. Too overwhelming and cheapens the flavor by over coloring it like trying to MASK something else. WHY? Fresh tuna grilled NEAT. It's like fresh bread right out of the oven you just eat it. Lighten up on the seasonings a hint of understated delicacy. Beauty in simplicity I say. Read More

Easy and Tasty I went looking through the tuna recipes after a last minute change in dinner plans this Thursday. My cupboard is nearly bare and I was sure there would not be anything I could do... I had to use dried parsley and fresh WOULD be better but the relish was great and took 10-15 minutes to make. I was baking frozen tuna and I think frozen does need something a little extra. We love garlic anyway. Pros: Easy great weeknight meal Cons: 14 year old doesn't like it put ketchup on tuna instead Read More
