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 Yellowtail Tuna and Pineapple Salsa image

This light and delicious dinner came to me by way of Chef Josh Korn of Paul Martin's American Bistro.

Provided by JMac11116

Categories     Weeknight

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -7 ounces portions fresh yellowtail fish fillets
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 whole pineapple, peeled, sliced into 1/4 inch slices, and diced

1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Season yellowtail with salt & pepper on both sides, and place on hot grill. Grill to medium (3 minutes per side depending on thickness), as overcooking will lead to a dry finished product. While fish is cooking, place all ingredients for the pineapple salsa in a bowl and toss. When the fish is cooked, place a piece of banana leaf on the plate. Place fish on top of banana leaf and top with pineapple salsa, serve with rice and garnish with a grilled lemon.
  • Salsa can be made 1-2 hours in advance, no need to chill.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh yellowfin tuna steaks that are about 1 inch thick.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Make sure the pineapple salsa is nice and fresh. Use ripe pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.
  • Serve the grilled yellowfin tuna steaks immediately with the grilled pineapple salsa.
  • Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.

Conclusion:

This grilled yellowfin tuna with grilled pineapple salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna is cooked to perfection and the pineapple salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
