Grilled Tuna with Lemon
Total time: 30 minutes
If you get sushi-grade tuna you will definitely want to have this rare (it has to be graded to a higher standard so it is okay to eat raw). Regular tuna we normally have medium. Well done tend to make it rather dry. This is a simple preparation, finish with a bit of sea salt.
Ingredients:
- 2 tuna steaks, 350gr, 12.5oz yellowfin
- Marinade
- 1/4 cup white wine, 60gr, 2.2oz
- 2 tbs lemon juice, 30gr, 1oz
- 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz
- 1 tbs fresh tarragon, snipped substitute 1 tsp dried
- sea salt
Instructions:
- Put tuna in dish with deep sides. Mix all ingredients for marinade, pour over fish and let marinate for 10 - 20 minutes, no longer.
- Remove from marinade and cook on barbecue grill for 4 - 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for regular tuna, 2 - 3 minutes for ahi. - or until done to your liking. Remove and serve.
- Can also be cooked under broiler or sautéed in nonstick pan for roughly the same amount of time.
Note: A grill basket, skillet or mat makes working with fish easier.
