Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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!
