Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup light olive oil
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons basil leaves
1 lb tuna steak (works well with swordfish steaks too)

Steps:

Combine first 5 ingredients in shallow dish or self-closing plastic bag. (I prefer to use a shallow dish so that the honey doesn't stick in one place -- easier to mix I think -- ).
Add tuna steaks; turn to coat. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Turn occasionally.
Grill or broil 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness (or until fish flakes easily with a fork.)
NOTE: Baste 1 or 2 times with leftover marinade during cooking.
Discard leftover marinade.

Tips:

Use the freshest ahi tuna steaks possible. Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a bright red color.
Make sure to sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet to create a nice crust. This will help to keep the tuna moist and flavorful.
Don't overcook the tuna steaks. Ahi tuna is best served rare or medium-rare. Cook the steaks for no more than 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
The honey-lime glaze is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use fresh lime juice and honey for the best flavor.
Serve the glazed ahi tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Honey-lime glazed ahi tuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tuna steaks are seared to perfection and then glazed with a tangy and sweet honey-lime sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
