Fish - Grilled Ahi Tuna

By á-4145

2 servings. Prep time 15 min Cook time 5 min

Ingredients

• 1/8 C (2 T) extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 T toasted sesame oil
• Juice from 2 limes
• 1 green onion sliced (I use more)
• 1 T grated fresh ginger (I use more)
• thick cut sushi grade Ahi Tuna filet
• Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

In a deep dish large enough to hold the tuna filet, whisk together the olive oil, sesame oil, lime juice, green onions, and ginger. Set aside in refrigerator.

Approximately 1 hour before you are ready to grill the tuna, place the tuna in the marinade, spooning some marinade on top of the tuna. Let sit for 30 minutes, turn, and repeat another 30 minutes.

Preheat barbecue grill (oil hot grill to help prevent sticking)

Place the marinated tuna filet over direct heat and cook only until grill marks form. As soon as you see grill marks on the tuna, turn the tuna filet over and move the tuna to indirect heat. Do not overcook the tuna or the meat will become dry and lose its flavor. It will have a white ring around the edges, but the center will be very pink when done. Remove from grill and serve immediately. (MY FAMILY PREFERS THE FISH COOKED LONGER)
