- Peel four of the tangerines, and pull them apart into sections.
- Put them into a bowl.
- Cut and squeeze the remaining two tangerines, and pour their juice over the sectioned tangerines.
- Grill or broil the marinated fish until it is done to your liking (it should be cooked through and springy to the touch).

- Drain the tangerine sections, reserving the juice.
- Arrange the lettuce on individual plates, top with the tuna slices and tangerine sections, and cover and chill the plates.
