Honey Glazed Tuna is the most preferred way of preparing tuna because it produces grill marks on the surface of the fish. You should always maintain your focus on the tuna while it is being grilled. The honey glace in this case will make the tune burn easily. In case it flames up, moves it off to the side of the grill where it is not too hot. Besides, this recipe can also be prepared and cooked in a hot skillet. Check out similar articles.

Nutritional Tips
Grilling is a healthy means of cooking as it requires little or no added fat. Besides, any fat oozing from the food can easily drain away. Griddle pans are the most preferred because they can withstand extreme levels of heat. On the other hand, this cooking method gives food an appetizing flavor and assists in sealing in all the juices.
