Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -7 ounces portions fresh yellowtail fish fillets

salt & pepper

Steps:

Provided by Cheese Please

Categories     Weeknight

Time 30m

Yield 2 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 habanero pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb yellowfin tuna fillet (sliced into 2-inch thick pieces, the thicker the better, mine were about 1.5-inch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the top of pineapple and the bottom off. Stand the pineapple on its side and with a sharp knife, slice sides of pineapple off. Cut the pineapple into small slices and then remove the core of each slice. (The core tends to be hard to eat, but I've had some pineapples were it was soft). Dice the remaining pineapple into small pieces.
  • Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors marinate.
  • Season each side of the fish with garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
  • Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, until inside of the fish is a nice medium rare. Top with pineapple salsa! Enjoy!

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH CANTALOUPE SALSA



Grilled Tuna Steaks with Cantaloupe Salsa image

Categories     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Low/No Sugar     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Backyard BBQ     Cantaloupe     Tuna     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup coarsely chopped cantaloupe
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced seeded jalapeño chili
2 5- to 6-ounce fresh tuna steaks (about 1/2 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix cantaloupe, onion, cilantro, 2 teaspoons oil, lime juice and jalapeño chili in small bowl. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brush tuna steaks on both sides with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill tuna until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer tuna to plates. Spoon salsa alongside and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep them moist and tender during grilling.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare.
  • Make the pineapple salsa: While the tuna steaks are grilling, make the pineapple salsa by combining fresh pineapple, red onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. This salsa is a great way to add a burst of flavor to the grilled tuna steaks.
  • Serve the grilled tuna steaks with the pineapple salsa: Serve the grilled tuna steaks immediately with the pineapple salsa on top. You can also serve the tuna steaks with grilled vegetables or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna with fresh pineapple salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna steaks are grilled to perfection and the pineapple salsa is a great way to add a burst of flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
