This recipe came from my husband's cousin, who fishes for tuna off the Oregon coast each summer. The bacon helps hold the tuna together on the grill, and adds a nice moistness to the lean albacore meat. You could try it with other types of tuna, but I've only ever used albacore.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb albacore tuna steak, 1-2 inches thick
1/2 lb low-sodium bacon
garlic powder
seasoning salt
cooking spray

Directions

1
Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
2
Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
3
Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
4
Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
5
Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
6
Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.
