Honey Lime Tuna Steaks

Submitted by Stacky5

"This is so awesome! So easy, yet tastes really good and has a Carribean/tropical flair! This is something I'd serve to people I really wanted to impress..."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup light olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons basil leaves
• 1 lb tuna steak (works well with swordfish steaks too)

directions

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in shallow dish or self-closing plastic bag. (I prefer to use a shallow dish so that the honey doesn't stick in one place -- easier to mix I think -- ).
2. Add tuna steaks; turn to coat. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Turn occasionally.
3. Grill or broil 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness (or until fish flakes easily with a fork.)
4. NOTE: Baste 1 or 2 times with leftover marinade during cooking.
5. Discard leftover marinade.

This is the only way I make tuna! I changed it some because i love honey, I changed the one tablespoon of honey to 5, and since I don't usually have lime juice in the house i skipped that step, and it still tasted GREAT

Oooooh lovely - thank you! This was a really tasty recipe and even with just 20mins marinade time the steaks came out lovely and tender. My other half wont eat fish with any pink bits in it so I have to overcook it, but to be honest it was still excellent - so much more moist than usual. I followed the recipe as stated, except for the old bay spice seasoning (cos I didn't know what it was and by the time I found out it was too late to make any). Also, I baked in the oven at 200c because our grill is busted but, as I say, they came out beautifully. Thanks for a great recipe Stacky5LRC!

Fantastic recipe! I used swordfish. The marinade worked fine in a ziplock bag; I just mixed all the marinade ingredients well before adding it to the bag with the fish. We used the George Foreman grill to cook this and it came out really tasty and super moist. Thanks for a great recipe, I will use it again, for sure!
