How to make Grilled Tuna with Garlic and Parsley:
- We start the grilled tuna recipe by peeling the garlic cloves and finely chopping them. If you prefer, you can use garlic powder or even garlic paste. On the other hand, the amount of garlic is indicative, since depending on your tastes you can add more or less.
- When we have the minced garlic cloves, we place them in a container, add the parsley, the olive oil and mix well. If you want, you can also add a few drops of lemon juice to the dressing to further enhance the flavor of the grilled tuna.
- We put the griddle or a non-stick skillet over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When it is hot, lower the temperature a bit, cook the tuna steaks, turn them over and cover them with the previous preparation of garlic and parsley. Tuna is a fish that cooks very quickly, so you must be careful to prevent it from burning. In just five minutes you will have it ready.
- We can serve the grilled tuna with garlic and parsley for dinner, without anything else, or accompanied by baked potatoes, zucchini chips or sautéed vegetables.
