This was a nice marinade. The basting, while adding an extra step, really did impart more flavor, so I'm glad I didn't skip it. THANKS for the recipe!
I was looking for a recipe for yellowfin tuna and this one had great reviews. But when I looked at the ingredient list, based on my past experience, this type of flavour on fish wasn't my cup of tea. I couldn't find anything else and my family thought it sounded good so I made it. The only thing I did differently was to use olive oil since I didn't have vegetable oil. And it only sat in the marinade for about 10 minutes because that's all the time I had. I was completely blown away. This TOTALLY works on tuna. In fact it was perfection. Can't wait to make this again. Definitely a keeper!
I tasted and loved this recipe, as is, and our tuna steaks were excellent. I added for personal taste, brown sugar and the juice of one orange. Saved half the marinade for a dipping sauce once I broiled the steaks. Also, only used 1/3 of cup of oil. I usually cut oils down just to cut calories.
The recipe was absolutely wonderful. I followed the ingredients exactly. I forgot to prick the steaks with the fork but it didn't seem to affect the juiciness of the fish. I marinaded it for a little over three hours which didn't seem like it was a problem. I did not grill the fish. i only had 2 6-ounce steaks and hated lighting up the entire grill just for that. I oiled a cast iron skillet and heated it to medium and then still followed the grilling recipe.
Wonderful marinade!! Definitely a keeper and I will now use this again and again. I did not have dijon mustard so I used regular mustard with some horseradish. I added some ginger as well. It was a big hit in this house.
Made this for my family and everybody thought it was excellent! Followed the recipe using tamari soy sauce. No left overs here.
Three minutes per side was perfect. Crispy outside pink inside. Marinade was also good on rice.
I mostly followed the recipe using minor substitutes since I didn't have the exact ingredients (different oil mustard etc). We both thought it was really good. Will use again in the future.
I made this last night. Our friend went fishing and caught some yellowfin tuna. He gave some of it to my husband. I had no idea what to do with it so I tried this recipe. As others mentioned I basted the fish while it was on the grill. He LOVED it! When my husband tries something new he usually says "it's ok ". I'm a vegetarian so I didn't try it. This time he RAVED! He even had me print the recipe so he could give a copy to his fisherman friend. I am going to try this marinade with sushi grade Ahi & give it a quick sear.
Like previously mentioned way to much lemon, and 5 to 6 minutes cooking on each side is way to much. I would suggest cooking to medium rare, otherwise the tuna becomes tough.
