Q: I want to eat more fish, but I don't know how to cook it, and I'm worried about safety. Got any tips?

A: You can safely satisfy summer's seafood yearning with tuna once a week. Fresh tuna is delicious and a fine source of protein, B vitamins and omega-3s. Fish fresh from the ocean is tastiest, but if you don't have access to it or are a novice cook, you're in luck: StarKist's new tuna fillets have been marinated, grilled and sealed in the pouches favored by French chefs. The result? Safety, convenience and restaurant taste.

The fillets come in three flavors and can be heated on the grill, stir-fried or microwaved. Serve atop vegetables, beans or salad for an easy, healthy summer meal. Try this delicious Greek tuna salad from chef Art Smith.
