For each portion, serve a tuna kabob and vegetable kabob over salad.

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the eggplant cubes and place on paper towels. Let stand for 1 hour. Rinse and drain. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the eggplant and saute until half cooked, about 4 minutes. Using 8 metal or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water, skewer the tuna, peppers, onion and eggplant pieces, alternating colors and dividing the ingredients evenly among the skewers.
• Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, basil and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish. Place the skewers in the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning from time to time.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Remove the skewers from the marinade and grill until tuna begins to char on the outside but is still pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side (about 8 minutes total).
• Heat a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted. Divide among 4 plates. Spoon the hot rice beside the spinach and top both with 2 skewers per plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium. (If you're using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds.) Toss tuna with 1 tablespoon oil. Thread tuna onto 4 skewers.
• Combine cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons.
• Brush pan or grill grate with remaining tablespoon oil. Grill tuna, turning skewers and brushing tuna occasionally with lime sauce, to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for rare. Transfer skewers to a serving plate, and brush with reserved lime sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
• Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

Steps:

• Whisk first 8 ingredients in medium bowl to blend; season to taste with ground white pepper. Transfer 3 tablespoons marinade to small bowl and reserve. Add tuna to remaining marinade in medium bowl and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
• Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Alternate tuna cubes, bell pepper squares, and onion squares on each of 6 metal skewers. Grill to desired doneness, turning frequently, about 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Drizzle reserved marinade over; sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Remove 1/3 cup to a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tuna. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour., Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
