Grilled Salmon or Tuna Steaks Recipe – To sear tuna you should cook at a very high heat for just a short time. The edges of the steak will be seared while the middle remains red and rare. The secret to searing is to check often by looking between the flakes of the tuna to see how deep the tuna steak has cooked. When it has cooked about ¼ of an inch deep, remove from grill.

4 salmon or tuna steaks, good quality, about 1-inch thick

Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon zest
1 small clove garlic, crushed and minced
3 tablespoons olive oil

Arrange fish in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Whisk together marinade ingredients in a small bowl; pour over steaks. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning frequently. Place fish on a well-greased grill or grilling basket and grill over medium coals for about 3 to 4 minutes, basting frequently with marinade.

Turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until fish is nicely grilled on the outside but still pink or somewhat translucent in the center.
Serves 4.
