Tuna Glazed With Ginger and Lime

This recipe requires a fish that can handle the grill. If you can't find good fresh tuna, choose mahi mahi or amberjack. Although the flavor will be different because of the oils in the fish, it is still yummy. Prep time does not include 1 hour marinating time or time to get coals ready in the grill. Cut the cooking time for mahi mahi or amberjack...it isn't as dense as tuna.

Directions

1. Place steaks in a large shallow dish. Combine garlic and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Pour marinade mixture over tuna steaks. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning once.
2. Remove steaks from the marinade, reserving marinade. Bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan.
