Spicy Grilled Tuna
Fresh tuna is best in this dish. When grilling, look for firm tuna that will hold together when turned, or use a fish grilling basket.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 pounds tuna fillet
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, cayenne, lemon juice, shallot, cumin and cilantro. Place tuna in glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over tuna and marinate 1 hour in refrigerator, turning once. Brush grill with vegetable oil and heat to medium. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and lemon wedges. Serves 4.
