Grilled Ginger-Lime Tuna Steaks

Prep Time:10 Mins | Total Time:1 Hr 25 Mins | Makes:4 Servings

Add a zesty twist to your fish! Tuna takes on a whole new taste when it is marinated in an easy homemade ginger-lime marinade.

1 1/2 lb (750 g) tuna steaks, 3/4 to 1 inch thick (about 2.5 cm)

1/4 cup (50 mL) lime juice

2 tbsp (30 mL) olive or vegetable oil

2 tsp (10 mL) finely chopped gingerroot

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground red pepper (cayenne)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Lime wedges, if desired

If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix remaining ingredients except lime wedges. Add fish; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning fish once, at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish about 4 inches from medium heat 11 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with lime wedges.

Food Safety: Always discard any remaining used marinade.
How-To : To test fish doneness, place a fork in the thickest part of the fish and gently twist it. The fish will flake easily when done.
