Yellowfin Tuna Marinade Recipe

Ingredients

2 Yellowfin tuna steaks 6 to 8 ounces each

2 tbsp Coconut aminos

1 tbsp Honey

1 tsp grated fresh Ginger

1 Garlic clove minced

1 tbsp Olive oil

Sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Sliced green onions optional, for garnish

Instructions

Mix coconut aminos, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a dish or bag.

Coat tuna steaks in marinade and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Even 5 minutes helps.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove tuna from marinade, letting excess drip off.

Sear tuna in skillet, 2-3 minutes per side until crust forms. The center should be pink.

Boil leftover marinade in a small saucepan for 1-2 minutes to make a glaze.

Remove tuna from skillet and let rest for 1 minute.

Pour glaze over tuna and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Coconut aminos are a gluten-free and soy-free alternative to soy sauce. You can use gluten-free soy sauce if you prefer.

If you’re short on time, a quick 5-minute marinade is still better than none!
