Tuna steak recipes aren't limited to restaurants. After enjoying yellowfin tuna in southwest Florida, I came up with this recipe so I could enjoy the flavor of my favorite fish at home. —Jan Huntington, Painesville, Ohio

"Excellent, easy, Garlic Herbed Tuna cooked at mefium high heat, on the stove , using 5 thicker filet pieces, in a covered 6" pan . 3 to 4 minutes each side kept it moist, flavorful, with a less pink center. The lemon juice over powered the herbs. The recipe is a good base to add a pinch of other flavors ."

"Absolutely WONDERFUL! I cooked the tuna on the grill and LOVED the flavor! The lemon adds just enough tartness to be distinguishable, but not too overpowering! EXCELLENT!!!"
