Zesty Grilled Tuna Steaks

Simple Seafood
Prep time:
10 minutes
Cooking time:
15 minutes

Thick-cut fresh tuna is usually pricey. Try other thick, mild fish that give good results at a lower cost, such as amberjack and mahi-mahi steaks and fillets. If the steaks are thinner, reduce the cooking time.

To yield the most juice from limes, allow them to come to room temperature. In a pinch, microwave them on HIGH for 10 to 15 seconds.

Buttery Summer Vegetables

Look for reduced priced vegetables in the produce section of your supermarket. These vegetables are less expensive, but are just as tasty and nutrient-rich.
