I prefer dinner recipes that serve four because the leftovers make packing lunch the next day a breeze. The exception to this meal-planning rule is when seafood is on the menu; fresh local fish is too expensive to be eaten as a weekday lunch, and the leftovers don’t keep very well. So this sushi-grade yellowfin tuna steak was a special treat the night Lucas caught a red-eye to Taiwan. A slightly seared tuna dipped in a refreshing citrus soy sauce feels like the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of summer warmth. The cool interior of the tuna steak with the tang from the orange dipping sauce make each bite burst with freshness. A little crunch from the sesame seed crust adds complexity in flavor and texture to an already outstanding piece of fish. If it didn’t break the bank, we’d eat this dish at least once a week and life would be grand. To read more and get the recipe, check out my guest post over at the Mor.sl Blog…
Gorgeous photo and absolutely looooove this recipe! Will definitely make this the next time I get my hands on sushi grade tuna!
Thanks! It’s so delicious – if you have a seafood market nearby, ask them if they have sushi grade tuna (mine has all sushi-grade fish, they say).
Beautiful photo!!
Thank you – practicing with the new camera…still don’t know what all these fancy buttons do. haha.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I have been wanting to make since I went on holidays in Florida in April this year… Impossible to find it in restaurants here in Belgium. Now I can finally make my own. I’ll pair it with the key lime pie I recently made and posted on my blog.
Yum! Key lime pie sounds refreshing too – perfect pairing!
Ooooh goodness! This looks to die for! I might have to run down to our seafood market tonight…
I feel so lucky to have easy access to fresh seafood in the Bay Area. And you too – I just had some amazing seafood in Boston! Yumm…now I’m hungry.
Beautiful! Looks fabulously delicious!
Thank you:)
this has GOT to be the best way to eat Tuna…YUM!!
I agree – I much prefer raw or only lightly seared fresh tuna to the fully cooked kind!
