Best 5 Soy Lime Marinated Grilled Tuna With Cucumber Salad Recipes

PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

GRILLED CITRUS TUNA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine orange juice, olive oil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Place the tuna steaks in the bowl, turn to coat both sides with marinade; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Remove tuna from the marinade and shake off excess. Place tuna onto preheated grill and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per inch for medium-rare or 10 minutes per inch for medium-well.

GRILLED GINGER-LIME TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix remaining ingredients except lime wedges. Add fish; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning fish once, at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish about 4 inches from medium heat 11 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with lime wedges.

• Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds.
• Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise (makes about 2 cups).
• Add the cucumbers, carrot, chile pepper, scallion and sesame seeds to the remaining marinade, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the fish to paper towels and discard the marinade in the dish.
• Pat the excess marinade from the tuna.
• With a pastry or barbecue brush, brush the fish with additional olive oil.
• On an outdoor grill or a grill pan over high heat, lightly brush the grates with olive oil (do not place the fish on the grill until the flames have subsided).
• Grill the fish 3 to 5 minutes on both sides for medium rare or 6 to 8 minutes for medium well.
• When slightly cooled, cut into thick slices.
• Meanwhile, mix the lettuce and herbs with the chilled marinade and transfer to a platter.
