Steps:
- Rinse and pat tuna steaks dry. Place zest on top of cutting board. Pile rosemary and parsley leaves on top of zest. Pile garlic and some coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning on top of herbs. Finely chop the garlic, herbs, and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the tuna steaks just enough to coat each side. Rub herb and garlic mixture into fish, coating pieces evenly on each side. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Grill tuna steaks 6 minutes on each side or 4 minutes on each side, if you prefer pink tuna at the center. Cook steaks over: high setting on indoor electric grill, medium high heat on outdoor gas grill or, 6 inches from hot, prepared charcoal.
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
- Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or "high" setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
- Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.
- Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.
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.

GRILLED ROSEMARY SWORDFISH
My husband loves swordfish, and we have a ton of swordfish recipes because of that. But, this is his favorite way to have it-moist, tender and perked up with herbs. Tuna is a good substitute for swordfish. Its firm texture stands up to grilling. -Lorie Rice, Liverpool, New York

GRILLED TUNA
Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

GRILLED TUNA WITH ROSEMARY
Steps:
- 1. Thaw tuna, if frozen. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Measure thickness of tuna. Cut into 4 serving-size portions. Brush both sides of each piece with olive oil and lemon juice; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub garlic and rosemary onto tuna. 2. Place fish steaks on a greased grill rack or in a grill basket. Grill on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals until tuna flakes easily with a fork (allow for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch of thickness). If the tuna is more than 1-inch thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling. 3. To serve, top tuna with capers. If desired, garnish with fresh rosemary.

Tips:
- Select high-quality tuna steaks: Choose sushi-grade tuna steaks that are firm and have a vibrant red color. Avoid steaks that are brown or have a slimy texture.
- Prepare the marinade: Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. You can also add other herbs and spices to your preference.
- Marinate the tuna steaks: Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help infuse the tuna with flavor and moisture.
- Preheat your grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the tuna steaks. This will help create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender.
- Cook the tuna steaks: Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Rest the tuna steaks: Once the tuna steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and result in a more tender and flavorful tuna steak.
