Grilled Tuna Sashimi with Sesame Scallion Ponzu & Chili Lime Mango

Growing up in Florida nonetheless being raised in a Sicilian-Italian household I was destined to love all things seafood from the beginning of my days. That definitely proved to be true, and I still prefer seafood over meat to this day.

A beautiful, high-quality, wild-caught piece of fish doesn't need anything more than a touch of sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, & a hot grill!

This recipe is ready in 25 minutes or less and makes for a refreshing appetizer or main course!

Ponzu Sauce:

• 1 tbsp fresh orange juice

• 1 tsp fresh lime juice

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 tsp chili garlic paste

• 1 clove minced garlic

• 1 tsp honey

• 1 tbsp scallion

  1. Mix to combine in a bowl

Top tuna heavily with sauce on a chilled plate

Chili Lime Mango:

• 1 honey mango, sliced thin

• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

• Tajin, to taste (I like a good amount!)

  1. Slice mango & place on chilled plate

  2. Squeeze fresh lime over top & top with tajin

Grilled Tuna:

• 2 8 oz wild caught tuna steaks

• Sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper

(Optional:

Brush with grapeseed oil and coat with furikake seasoning)

1. Let seasoning soak into fish for about 10 mins before grilling at 500 for 2 minutes on each side

2. Note: You want to leave the inside as raw as possible!

3. Slice & serve on a chilled plate

4. Enjoy immediately

Note: Serve with steamed rice or wrapped in rice paper for more sustenance if planning on serving as a main course.
