Fish

Method

Garlic Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the albacore tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the garlic marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Crispy Onions

  1. 3

    Prepare the Onions

    In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced onion with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Afterward, dredge the onions in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. 4

    Fry the Onions

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the floured onions in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Citrus Soy Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking the Tuna

  1. 6

    Char the Tuna

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Place the grilled albacore tuna on a serving platter. Drizzle with the citrus soy sauce, and top with crispy onions, chopped scallions, and a sprinkle of orange zest. Serve immediately.
