Grilled Fresh Albacore Tuna Recipes

by

There are two ways to cook tuna on the grill: either grill a thinner tuna steak over high heat until it is thoroughly cooked, or quickly grill it over high heat, searing the outside while leaving the fish mostly raw. Seared tuna is a favorite of Asian cuisine that is becoming more and more popular in the United States.

Lightly oil grill grate. Season tuna with salt and pepper, and cook on the preheated grill approximately 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter, and drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve immediately.

FAQ

How do you grill tuna without drying it out?

The center of the fish should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. Brush the fish with olive oil, season it with salt, and grill each side for only 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

How long does tuna take to grill?

Depending on your preference, grill the tuna for 3 minutes on each side or less. The tuna should be firm with pink in the middle. If you prefer your grilled tuna steak rare to medium-rare, shorten the grilling time to 112 to 2 minutes per side.

What seasonings go best on tuna?

The best seasonings to use with tuna are salt-free ones because the fish already has a mildly salty flavor on its own and the pickle relish also adds a salty, briny flavor. In addition to ground cumin, experiment with garlic and onion powder.

Is fresh albacore tuna good?

Albacore tuna is a fantastic addition to your diet if you’re trying to eat healthier because it’s a great source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, as well as selenium, protein, and vitamin B-12.
