Wasabi-Ginger Glazed Tuna Steaks (South Beach Diet Friendly, Low

GoldsmithLissa's Note:

Quick and healthy recipe for tuna. Add more wasabi and/or ginger to make it spicier. We like it a lot hotter, but this version is more universal. If you're not dieting, serve on a bed of jasmine rice. If you are, serve with some mixed vegetables topped with salt and a splash of soy sauce.

This was DELICIOUS. My first time eating tuna steak, or any rare fish for that matter. I really liked it. The glaze didn't seem overkill to the tuna itself. One more thing, I didn't really know what ginger marmalade was...so I just mixed some ginger puree with some sugar free marmalade, lol! Thank you very much for posting this recipe.
