Tuna Fillet Ideas Please

Eve23

I have some fresh tuna fillets that I have ready to do something with. However I am not a cook by any means of the imagination. Besides Tuna Fajitas I have never cooked tuna before. So I would like some good ideas for marinades or other ideas.

Zatarans blackening seasoning (add cayenne if you like it spicy!), little bit of olive oil in the pan. OMG. My favorite.

Salt/pepper it, sear it, and just squeeze lime juice over it!

Or..... dijon mustard with a bit of balsamic vinegar mixed in.

Green Tea Soba Noodles With Seared Tuna


Ingredients:
4 x 125 g Tuna Steaks
3 Tbsp Sesame Oil
4 Tbsp Black Or White Sesame Seeds
250 g Green Tea Soba Noodles (or just soba noodles if you cannot get green tea ones)
1 small Courgette, diced
4 Spring Onions Or Chives, finely chopped
Sauce:
4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp Soya Sauce
2 cm Piece Root Ginger, grated
3 Tbsp Mirin
1 Tbsp Sugar

Yield: 4 persons


Directions:
1) Boil the noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain. As we are not going to use the noodles straightaway, leave in a bowl of cold water.

2) Drizzle the tuna with 1 tbsp sesame oil and season. Roll in the sesame seeds until coated. Heat a non-stick frying pan to very hot. Sear the tuna on both sides. Keep warm.

3) In a saucepan, saute the courgette until soft. Then, put in ginger, mix well. Followed by lemon juice, soya sauce, mirin and sugar. Stir and mix well. Add in a bit of water if necessary.

4) Drain soba noodles and add in to the saucepan. Put all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix well, set aside.

5) Slice the tuna and divide the noodles into 4 shallow bowls, serve slices of tuna on top. Generously drizzle the sauce over before serving.

Or, if you are feeling really adventurous, sear it (keep it med. rare!!!), brush it with sesame oil, then pack on some sesame seeds and slice it thin. You can serve it this way with pretty well any kind of sauce (ginger mayo, wasabi mayo, sweet chili, etc) or just enjoy sauceless!

Slice it thin and lay it over some rice....No cooking necessary. Well the rice. Can you cook rice?

Tasty Low Calorie Tuna Melt


This is a fantastic, tasty and healthy tuna melt similar to what you would receive in a restaurant.

Minutes to Prepare: 10
Minutes to Cook: 5
Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

1 dash fresh ground black pepper
1 oz lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 slice cheese (Veggie Slices or fat free cheese)
2 slices rye bread or multigrain bread
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 Tbsp light mayonnaise
1 can StarKist Chunk Light Tuna in water(5 oz)
1 dash celery salt
1/4 tsp dill weed
5 sprays butter spray (on each piece of bread)


Directions

Drain water from tuna

Combine celery, onion, mustard, lemon juice, pepper, celery salt, dill and tuna in a mixing bowl. Mix together well.

Spray one side of each slice of bread with butter spray and lightly toast bread.

Scoop tuna mixture onto toasted bread (non buttered side)

Place slice of cheese on tuna mixture, close up and enjoy !

I find if you chill the tuna mixture for a bit before you make the sandwich it thickens up the mixture and adds a cool crispiness to the sandwich.

my new fav....cut tuna into 1-2 inch chucks and marinate in teriyaki sauce for 20 minutes. Then wrap the chucks in fresh bacon and secure with a toothpick (or two)....grill until the bacon is cooked. They are delish!!
