Grilled Tuna with Ginger-Sesame Sauce

With summer getting into full swing, Hummingbird presents one of Jay Miller’s favorite summertime barbecue recipes. Jay says that he loves summer grilling, when his family enjoys the bounty of locally sourced fish. Here is one of his quick and easy specialties.

3 finely chopped scallions

1 tbsp minced fresh ginger

1 minced garlic clove

2 tbsp sesame oil

¼ cup hoisin sauce

¼ cup of lemon juice

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

2 tbsp chopped cilantro

4 tuna steaks, 6-7 ounces each, about 1 inch thick

Stir fry the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Preheat oiled grill to moderately high heat.

Season tuna with salt and pepper and grill for 2 or 3 minutes per side for rare, longer for well done as you like.

Serve with warm sauce on the side.

Serves 4

The Ginger-Sesame Tuna pairs well with coconut rice.

We usually grill vegetables prior to cooking the main course and set aside. Just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and your favorite salt is all you need!
