Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) fresh tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks (sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The fish should be firm yet tender and should flake slightly when tested with a fork.
When cooked, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish the tuna with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, flavorful Low Fat Teriyaki Grilled Tuna Steaks!
