Tuna is a great fish for grilling because it is a firm, steak-like fish. Swordfish would also work very well. I wrote this recipe along with a few other simple seafood meals for Hannaford fresh Magazine. I thought you’d enjoy something non slow-cooked as a change of pace.

SALAD
Instructions
- Prepare tuna. Preheat grill. Mix oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over the tuna steaks, coating them evenly. Set aside.
- While grill heats, begin salad. In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, pepper, and oil. Add watermelon, mint, and onion and toss well. Set aside.
- When grill is very hot, brush with oil or spray with vegetable cooking spray. Grill tuna until well marked, about 5 minutes. Turn to finish cooking, about 3 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for medium rare. Transfer tuna to plate.
- Add spring mix to watermelon salad and toss well. To serve, divide salad and tuna among 4 plates. Garnish each salad with about 2 Tbsp. crumbled feta.
