Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Season tuna steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Grill tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and fish is opaque.

Remove tuna from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil and add orzo pasta.

Cook orzo for 8-10 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally.

While orzo cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and diced red onion to the skillet, sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in chopped cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add cooked orzo to the skillet along with fresh basil, capers, and spinach; mix well.

Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve grilled tuna steaks over a bed of the tomato-basil orzo, garnished with parmesan cheese.
