Davey's Broiled Yellowfin Tuna and Relish

Submitted by Crabzilla

"This is a concotion made up by my husband. It's quite tasty and worth the effort. I'm sure the marinade would be good with any type of tuna, we just happened to have yellow fin on hand. Preparation time does not include marinating, and is only an estimate...how fast can one dice?! Broil time is APPROXIMATE, depending on thickness of tuna - you may need to scale it back to 3-4 minutes per side, use your judgement! BTW, the relish does make a lot, I usually make it as stated, just to have some extra to use the next day on something else, you may want to halve it though, depending on your needs!"

Lots of flavor. I marinated for 1 hour. Grilled the steak 3 minutes pre side. They were 8 ounces each. I found the mariade and relish to be more then enough so you can cut back to make half of what is called for! I skipped the cinnamon and because DH just doesn`t like it in more then desserts,the cilantro I just added to mine just love it, skipped the vinegar and use the juice of one lime which was plenty. But I did use the 1/2 teaspoon five spice in the marinade and he didn`t complain. This is a quick, easy, healthy, tasty meal! Thanks to Davey!

Simply Perfect!!<br/><br/>We have a family of six children so we did increase everything but the results were perfect. Not one of the six, ages 3 to 15, left anything behind on their plates. Since that first night I have modified a few things just because I can%u2019t help but do so. When I find something this good I love to play around with it and have since used Salmon and a few other seafood%u2019s, with amazing results. As a side note, you can cut the relish in half as there is plenty; I don%u2019t because of the size of my family but a dinner for two would have extra left over for sure.<br/><br/>Also, we live at 7,000 feet so as always we needed to cook for just a little longer in all cases.<br/><br/>This has quickly become a family favorite and we are having it again tomorrow night. Thank you for a wonderful quick, easy, and healthy recipe Davey!!
