Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 large cloves garlic, minced
3 large shallots, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
6 (6 ounce) pieces of tuna fillet
Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, cumin, and about 3/4 of the cilantro (reserve the remaining cilantro for garnish).
  • Place the tuna fillet in a large glass or ceramic dish. Rub your fingers over the fish to check for and remove any remaining bones, and pour the marinade over the tuna. Make sure the fish are evenly coated on both sides and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning once.
  • Brush a grill or broiler pan with vegetable oil and heat it to high heat. Grill the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and the lemon wedges.

I would not recommend this recipe. The tuna was dry and the marinade was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The tuna was tough and the marinade was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it turned out terrible. The tuna was dry and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a disaster! The tuna was overcooked and the marinade was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The marinade didn't seem to infuse the tuna with much flavor. I would recommend adding more spices to the marinade or serving it with a flavorful sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the flavors were great. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I've tried many grilled tuna recipes, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is so flavorful, and it really infuses the tuna with a delicious taste. I also love the addition of the lime wedges, which add a nice citrusy kick. Will definitely be
