Fish Marinade

Method

Fish Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the ahi tuna steak in the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Tuna

  1. 3

    Cook the Tuna

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade and cook for 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  2. 4

    Slice the Tuna

    Once cooked, remove the ahi tuna from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into thin strips.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of the grilled ahi tuna onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Spoon a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco and serve with lime wedges on the side.
