Broiled Tuna with Pineapple-Chipotle Salsa
When it’s so cold that even Bobby won’t cook out on the grill, we turn to this recipe. Broiling tuna (one of Bobby’s favorite fish) is a perfect way to sear the outside while keeping it nice and rare inside, and the superfast salsa is full of bright, spicy flavor. We started making our own salsas a few years ago and haven’t looked back.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the broiler or prepare a medium-hot grill. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
To make the salsa: In a small bowl, mix together the pineapple, bell pepper, scallions, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and chipotle chile. Let stand, covered, at room temperature while you prepare the tuna.
Step 3
To make the tuna: Coat the tuna with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tuna on the prepared baking sheet or, if grilling, place it on the grill. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, or grill for 3 minutes per side, or until the tuna is cooked to desired doneness. Serve topped with the salsa.
