Quick, easy, and healthy, our grilled tuna recipe can be prepared in just under 20 minutes. Drizzle olive oil and lime over the tuna before grilling it for a zesty flavor. If you don't have a lime on-hand, a lemon makes a nice substitution. The freshly made herb butter is the secret ingredient in this grilled fish recipe that also tastes great drizzled over the spinach. It's a tasty way to flavor steamed or grilled vegetables, too.
