directions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ginger and brown sugar (makes 1 1/2 cups).
  • Stir well.
  • Pour half the mixture into a shallow dish large enough to fit the fish.
  • Add the fish and marinate at room temperature 30 minutes or in the refrigerator 45 minutes.
  • If refrigerating, remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Meanwhile, cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds.
  • Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise (makes about 2 cups).
  • Add the cucumbers, carrot, chile pepper, scallion and sesame seeds to the remaining marinade, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove the fish to paper towels and discard the marinade in the dish.
  • Pat the excess marinade from the tuna.
  • With a pastry or barbecue brush, brush the fish with additional olive oil.
  • On an outdoor grill or a grill pan over high heat, lightly brush the grates with olive oil (do not place the fish on the grill until the flames have subsided).
  • Grill the fish 3 to 5 minutes on both sides for medium rare or 6 to 8 minutes for medium well.
  • When slightly cooled, cut into thick slices.
  • Meanwhile, mix the lettuce and herbs with the chilled marinade and transfer to a platter.
  • Place the fish on top, and drizzle additional marinade over the fish.
  • Serve immediately.

  1. Fabulous!!!
     
  2. Yumm! Perfect for an evening where you want a light, balanced meal. The veggies soaked up the vinaigrette wonderfully.
     
  3. Intensely flavorful dish. I adjusted this down to serve two and had to substitute a chili pepper for the jalepeno. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and served it with couscous (with raisins and topped with creme fraiche). My DH and I both enjoyed the blend of flavours -- will make again. Thanks for sharing, Gingerbear.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
