The spice rub for this tuna gives it a great flavor that is made better by the salad! From Good Housekeeping 2000. This will also work well for salmon steaks! The recipe calls for radishes, but I skip them and its still good. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime peel |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
4 tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 (6 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves |
1/2 english seedless cucumber, unpeeled,cut lengthwise in half and then thinly sliced crosswise |
1 bunch radish, each cut in half and then thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. For the tuna, in a small bowl combine the oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, lime peel, salt and pepper until well blended.
2. Rub spice mixture on both sides of tuna steaks.
3. Heat grill to medium heat.
4. Grill tuna 8-10 minutes or until fish is opaque throughout, turning over once.
