  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki baste and glaze (from 12-oz bottle)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Salad

  • 12 pieces (1 1/2 inches each) fresh pineapple (2 cups)
  • 4 tuna steaks (about 4 oz each)
  • 4 cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 small red onion, sliced, separated into rings
  • 1/2 cup sesame oat bran sticks

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients with wire whisk; reserve 2 tablespoons.
  • 2
    On each of 2 (10-inch) metal skewers, thread pineapple, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece. Brush 1 tablespoon of the reserved dressing on pineapple; brush remaining 1 tablespoon reserved dressing on tuna.
  • 3
    Carefully spray grill rack with cooking spray. Place tuna on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, turning once and adding pineapple for last 5 minutes of grilling, until fish flakes easily with fork and is slightly pink in center.

    Among 4 plates, divide salad greens, tomatoes and onion. Top each with pineapple and tuna. Sprinkle with sesame sticks. Serve with remaining dressing.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Stir-fry sauce can be substituted for the teriyaki baste and glaze. Choose a stir-fry sauce that has a syrup-like, not watery, consistency so it's similar to the teriyaki baste and glaze. If you can't find the sesame oat bran sticks, croutons flavored with onion and garlic can be substituted.
  • tip 2
    Teriyaki baste and glaze has a thick, syrup-like consistency and shouldn't be confused with teriyaki marinade or sauce, which is more watery. Look for this tasty and versatile product in the Asian foods aisle.
