Grilled Tuna Steaks

Number of Servings: 4

Serving Size: 3-1/2 oz. fish

The marinade in this recipe uses a minimum of oil and a maximum of aromatic spices to impart a superb flavor. If tuna is not available, use any meaty, firm-flesh fish like halibut, marlin or swordfish. Fish is fabulous on the grill, but be careful not to overcook it or it will dry out. If desired, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for the vermouth.
