LINGUINE WITH GRILLED TUNA, CAPERS AND PARSLEY
Steps:
- Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Arrange the grill so half cooks over high heat and the other half can cook over moderately low heat. Meanwhile, soak 1 small bamboo skewer for 10 minutes.
- Thread the garlic cloves onto skewer. Brush both sides of the leek and the tuna with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the tuna with the rosemary.
- Oil the grill grates, then grill the leek cut side down and the tuna over high heat until grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tuna and leek and move to the cooler part of the grill. Cook until the tuna is just slightly pink within and the leek is tender, about 8 minutes for the tuna and 15 minutes for the leek. Transfer to a work surface and let cool slightly.
- Grill the garlic on the skewer over high heat, turning a few times, until blistered and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the outer layer of the leek and discard; thinly slice the leek crosswise, discarding any pieces that are tough, and transfer to a large bowl. Peel the garlic and finely chop. Flake the tuna and add the garlic and tuna to the leek.
- Meanwhile, cook the linguine until al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the hot pasta, parsley, capers, lemon juice and the 1/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl and toss. Add the cooking water, little by little, if necessary, to loosen the sauce. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, then serve immediately.

GRILLED TUNA
Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

GRILLED TUNA ON SPINACH SALAD
The spice rub for this tuna gives it a great flavor that is made better by the salad! From Good Housekeeping 2000. This will also work well for salmon steaks! The recipe calls for radishes, but I skip them and its still good.

- Marinate the tuna: Marinating the tuna in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to enhance its flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
- Grill the tuna over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the tuna and keep the inside moist and tender.
- Cook the tuna to your desired doneness: Tuna can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, or medium. The internal temperature of the tuna should be 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
- Serve the tuna immediately: Grilled tuna is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as spinach linguine, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
