We have a lot of fresh tuna, and I just don't have the time or desire to can it all. Anyone have any good recipes to share?Need fresh tuna recipes??
when the rest of the contacts get a hold of this one you might be in trouble Jill but I'm going to give you a serious answer. I've done this with salmon and it was yummy but the original recipe calls for tuna:





2 c diced papaya


1/2 red onion, diced


1 red bell pepper, diced


1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro


2 T lime juice


1 clove garlic, minced (I usually use 2 or 3 but I'm a garlic-fiend)


1/4 tsp hot sauce


4 (6 oz) tuna steaks


1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil


salt and pepper to taste


3 eggs


1/2 c chopped macadamia nuts





DIRECTIONS


Combine the papaya, onion, and red pepper in a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and hot sauce. Toss to combine, then refrigerate until ready to serve.


Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.


Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the tuna steaks in the egg, and allow excess egg to run off. Press into the macadamia nuts.


Cook the tuna steaks on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Serve with the papaya salsa.

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


4 tuna steaks


DIRECTIONS


In a large non-reactive dish, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

2 avocados


Juice of 1/2 lime

3 tablespoons honey (eyeball it)


2 tablespoons vegetable oil


Four tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

Salt and pepper


1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
