Ingredients
- 4 6-oz/170g sushi-grade tuna steaks, approximately 3/4” thick
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves washed, dried thoroughly, and finely chopped
- 1 tsp organic lemon zest
- 2 t. preserved lemon rind rinsed and finely chopped
- 1 large clove garlic grated
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean and spray grates of a gas grill with non-stick cooking spray and set heat to high. Close lid until grill comes to temperature. Alternatively, cook the tuna in a cast-iron grill pan on high heat.
- Meanwhile, prepare the gremolata by combining the parsley, lemon zest, preserved lemon rind, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.
- Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Open grill and place the tuna steaks and lemon halves over direct heat. Cook tuna for 2 minutes per side for rare. Increase time slightly for medium, but do not overcook.
- Remove the tuna steaks and grilled lemon halves from the heat and serve immediately topped with some gremolata. Serve with our grilled marinated asparagus or another side of your choice. Enjoy!
