Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill or the oven broiler.
- Step 2
Put the tuna on a flat surface and cut away and discard the dark center streak or bones. Spoon the olive oil over the fish and sprinkle with salt, ground pepper, thyme and pepper flakes.
- Step 3
If an outdoor grill is used, rub the rack lightly with olive oil. Place the fish, skin side up, on the grill. If the broiler is used, place the fish on a rack, skin side up, about 4 inches from the heat. Cook 3 minutes and turn; cook for another 3 minutes. If you wish the fish to be well done, cook 5 minutes on each side.
- Step 4
Remove the fish and cut it into thin diagonal slices.
- Step 5
Arrange one-quarter of the salad greens on each of four large plates. Arrange an equal number of fish slices on each plate, placing them in the center of the greens.
- Step 6
Spoon equal amounts of the salad dressing over the salad greens and around the fish. Serve any remaining salad dressing on the side. Serve while the fish is still warm.
