GRILLED YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND CORN

Steps:

• Place tuna in shallow dish and sprinkle with oil, shallots, garlic, oregano and bay leaves, and crushed peppercorns. Let flavors merge 1 hour at room temperature, turning fish over several times.
• As fish marinates, soften butter in a small bowl. Using a spoon, work in lemon juice, chives and salt. Using a large knife, chop together capers and watercress until cut very fine. Work these into the soft butter. Form into 4 equal-size patties and refrigerate.
• Remove fish from the marinade, reserving marinade, and place on hot grill or in broiler and cook, allowing 10 minutes for every 1-inch thickness of fish. Turn over fish at midpoint.
• As tuna cooks, quickly saute reserved marinade in small saucepan until garlic is soft. Add tomatoes and corn and cook 3 minutes, or until corn is cooked through.
• To serve, divide tuna among 4 plates; spoon tomato-corn mixture onto one corner of fish and let it cascade onto plate. Place a pat of watercress butter on each piece of fish and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano.

TUNA-TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Arrange the tomato slices on a plate.
• Take the tuna out of the can and arrange on top of the tomato slices.
• For the dressing: If you buy tuna packed in oil, use a few teaspoons of that from the can and add the lemon juice. Otherwise use any vegetable oil or even olive oil, (vegetable oil is obviously more budget friendly) No need to add salt because the cheese is plenty salty.
• Crumble the blue cheese on top of the tuna and tomato. I used Roquefort, which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! But any strong blue cheese will work.
• Dress the salad simply with the lemon and oil and sprinkle over the thyme and pepper.
