tuna steaks

🥗Healthier: salmon fillets

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Salmon is rich in omega-3s, while canned tuna is a cost-effective alternative.

Marinate tuna steaks in a mixture of olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, minced garlic, cooning pepper, and chopped shallot for about 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning once.

Preheat the grill to 400°F.

Remove tuna from marinade and place it on the grill.

Cook the tuna for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

Spoon a little bit of marinade on top of the tuna while cooking to prevent it from drying out.

Turn the tuna after 5 minutes and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.

Remove the tuna from the grill and garnish with more marinade, cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges.
