I'm not a big fan of tuna, but this recipe changed my mind. The marinade and pineapple pico really made the fish taste amazing.

This was my first time cooking tuna steaks and they turned out amazing! The marinade really infused the fish with flavor and the pineapple pico added a nice sweetness. Will definitely be making this again.
