Grilled Lime Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix remaining ingredients except lime wedges. Add fish; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning fish once, at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish about 4 inches from medium heat 11 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl.
• Place tuna in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add marinade.
• Refrigerate 15 minutes or longer for extra flavor. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Grill over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
• Also great with halibut, mahi mahi, or swordfish.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler if using.
• Wash and dry tuna, and squeeze juice from lime over both sides. Let tuna sit no more than 20 minutes.
• Prepare stove-top grill if using. Measure tuna at thickest point, and cook eight minutes to the inch, grilling or broiling on both sides.

Steps:

• Place tuna steaks and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill for medium heat. When coals are very hot, scatter a handful of hickory or mesquite wood chips over them for flavor.

Steps:

• Place tuna steaks in resealable food storage plastic bag. Add all remaining ingredients. Seal bag; turn to mix well. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Heat grill. Place tuna on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; discard marinade. Cook 6 to 7 minutes or until fish is firm but still pink inside and flakes easily with fork, turning once.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Remove 1/3 cup to a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tuna. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour., Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill tuna, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except tuna in a 1 gallon zipper bag. Squish together until well combined, then add tuna steaks. Seal and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or if longer, in the refrigerator.
• Preheat grill to 475. Grill approximately 3 minutes, turn, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes to desired doneness, basting while cooking.
• Transfer to plate and serve.

Steps:

• To prepare marinade, combine preserves, hoisin, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
