Grilled tuna is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. When grilled properly, tuna is moist and flaky, with a slightly smoky flavor. One of the most popular ways to serve grilled tuna is with a herbed aioli, a creamy sauce made with mayonnaise, herbs, and garlic. This sauce adds a delicious, savory flavor to the tuna and helps to keep it moist. In this article, we will explore some of the best recipes for grilled tuna with herbed aioli.

GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

Steps:
- Spray grill with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
- Brush tuna steaks, zucchini, and eggplant with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill vegetables until tender and lightly charred, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Remove from grill and cut into bite-size chunks. Place vegetables, tomatoes, herbes de Provence, and garlic in large bowl; toss to blend. Set aside. Grill tuna steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place tuna on plates, top with vegetables, and serve with aioli. * A dried herb mixture; sold in the spice section of supermarkets and at specialty foods stores. If unavailable, a combination of dried thyme, basil, savory, and fennel seeds can be substituted.
Tips:
- To ensure the tuna is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The tuna should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the tuna by gently pressing on it. If the tuna is cooked to medium-rare, it will feel slightly firm to the touch. If it's cooked to medium, it will feel slightly firm with a little give. If it's cooked to well-done, it will feel firm to the touch.
- To prevent the tuna from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking. You can also spray the tuna with cooking spray.
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- To make the herbed aioli, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise, lemon juice, and herbs to taste.
Conclusion:
Grilled tuna with herbed aioli is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed all summer long. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The tuna is cooked to perfection and the herbed aioli adds a flavorful touch. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad.
