As a time saver, these fajitas are individually assembled and plated rather than served family-style on a sizzling platter, which also reduces the time required to clean up. For the best results, press the ingredients onto the hot surface of the grill pan with either the weighted lid available with some models, or with the bottom of a heavy skillet. This will give the vegetables and fish grill marks and seal in their flavors. Fresh yellowfin tuna is a steak-quality fish, and can stand up to the bold flavors found in fajita spices. If you'd like to make a substitution, choose another firm-fleshed fish such as swordfish or Mahi-mahi.
