Vietnamese Caramel Glazed Tuna Collar
This glaze transforms a simple grilled collar into the centerpiece of a meal to gather around.
Use this glaze for any species of tuna, or try it with yellowtail, grouper, whole rockfish, or even opah. Collars from larger fish will take longer on the grill but also provide more food.
