In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pat the salmon or tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the fish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and lightly grease the grates with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for brushing later.
Place the salmon or tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F for salmon).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
