Grilled Tuna with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 fresh tuna steaks (approximately 6 ounces each)
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish 
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. While the grill heats up, prepare the marinade for the tuna. In a small bowl, combine one tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the tuna steaks.
3. Once the grill is ready, place the seasoned tuna steaks on it. Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, it should still be pink in the center. Remove the tuna from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the tomatoes. Sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted but still vibrant.
6. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the sautéed mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. To serve, place a portion of the spinach and cherry tomatoes on each plate. Top with the grilled tuna steak. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
