This was a great recipe. We used it on cod & grilled it on foil. It turned out fantastic. I did cut the cayenne down to 1/4 tsp (for me not my husband) & it was just about the right heat. DH would have eaten it if it had 1 T in it. Thanks so much for a quick & easy recipe that tastes good too. Looking forward to trying it on tuna.

Easy to put together and great for a last-minute fix (no marinating at all). I liked the flavor and the hint of spicy. My husband accidently overcooked the tuna (and I had flecks of grill paint on mine) but we will have an opportunity to try again because I will make this again.

Great combination of flavors! I spread the mix on Yellow Tail and grilled and it turned out fabulous. Just the right amount of spices to compliment the fish. Thanks for a great recipe!

BF isn't really fond of much fish/seafood -- he's a meat and potatoes kind of guy. But I throw some good seafood at him once in awhile to give him a little variety. He asked if I could make this one again. I only had 2 tuna steaks, so I cut the mayo in half but mistakenly used the full amount of spices. It had a kick, but he liked it and ate every bite. Thanks for sharing a recipe to liven up tuna! We'll have this one again (hopefully with the correct amount of ingredients!)!
