Grilled Mediterranean Ahi Tuna

Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin) Steaks Grilled with a Mediterranean Flair. Yellowfin Tuna or Ahi Tuna is usually served either Raw, as in sushi or Seared. or Grilled. When I first had this tuna grilled in spain with olive oil and salt I couldn't believe it was fish at all. This recipe is a bit of a cross between seared italian style and Spanish grilled.

An amazingly delicious recipe!!! I tend to do much less salt than others, and for this recipe, I use just a pinch of salt instead of the 1/4 teaspoon. Thanks for the recipe, JJABBS!! - 10/21/13

This is one of our favorite recipes! To add a bit more flavor we add a 1/2 cup of wine or so to the bottom of the baking dish. - 1/9/10
