YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA



Yellowfin Tuna with Grilled Pineapple Salsa image

This dish exemplifies simplicity at its best. This recipe is from"Emeril at the Grill" by Emeril Lagasse.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Four 6-ounce yellowfin tuna steaks
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
  • Brush both sides of the pineapple slices with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the pineapple on the grill and cook, rotating the slices occasionally, until slightly softened and nicely marked by the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Dice the pineapple slices (discard the tough core portions), and place the dice in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the red onion, bell pepper, rice vinegar, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro, and minced garlic.Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil, and stir well to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and set the salsa aside.
  • Season the tuna steaks with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the Original Essence, and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the steaks on the grill, rotating them 45 degrees after 2 minutes. Cook for 2 minutes longer. Turn to the other side, grilling the steaks for an additional 2 minutes, or until medium-rare. Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest briefly before serving it with the Grilled Pineapple Salsa. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshness of your tuna steaks, look for ones that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant red color. Avoid any steaks that appear dull or have brown spots.
  • When searing the tuna steaks, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the fish. This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the tuna steaks in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to grease the pan well to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • The fruit salsa is a great way to add a pop of flavor and freshness to the tuna steaks. You can use any type of fruit you like, but some good options include mango, pineapple, papaya, and avocado.
  • Be sure to serve the tuna steaks with the fruit salsa immediately after cooking. This will help ensure that the fish is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Tuna steaks are a delicious and versatile seafood option that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When seared and served with a refreshing fruit salsa, they make a light and flavorful meal that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try!
