Tangerine Tuna (marinade)

Submitted by Just Call Me Martha

"Excellent. This recipe came from a cookbook called "Miami Spice" which I picked up in the Miami airport. The marinade can be used on other types of fish as well. It smells heavenly and tastes even better. Prep time includes marinating time."

This is easy to put together and tastes great. I can't believe there's only one review since 2003 ... this is GOOD!
