Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -6 ounces albacore tuna fillets
2 ounces butter, Unsalted
1/4 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons garlic, finely diced
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup jalapeno, Diced and Seeded
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
6 slices bacon, Diced, Sauteed
4 -6 grilled jalapenos
2 tablespoons butter, Unsalted, Melted

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a 3 Quart sauce pan.
  • Add onions and garlic and sauté until tender. Add heavy cream and reduce by ½.
  • When sauce is reduced, add jalapenos, salt and pepper, mix thoroughly.
  • *Place whole jalapenos on the grill at the time you put the fish fillets on. Grill jalapenos just until the skin starts to lightly char, then flip and do the same to the other side. Once both sides have been roasted, pull jalapenos off the grill until time of service.
  • Lightly sprinkle salt & pepper over fish fillets. Drizzle melted butter over fillets & spread to cover top side of fillets (to prevent sticking when cooking). Place fillets on the grill. Grill to desired temperature or until internal temperature of 135°-140° is reached, place on serving plate.
  • Place sauce on top of fish and garnish with crispy bacon and grilled jalapeno.

TUNA WITH GINGER-MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE



Tuna with Ginger-Mushroom Cream Sauce image

I found this recipe on the web a few years back. You can tell its not one of my experiments, no hot peppers. It is one of my favorites and I get rave reviews when I cook it for friends. It works well with mahi mahi as too, though mahi mahi shouldn't be eaten rare. Not health food, but hey, that's what Decadent Saturdays are for.

This is a very easy recipe which can be made with either tuna or salmon. I have even made it with crabmeat with good results. It is low in fat and has only 56 grams of carbohydrates. It comes from the cookbook "Lighthearted Everyday Cooking" by Anne Lindsay.

TUNA SASHIMI WITH JALAPEñO



Tuna Sashimi with Jalapeño image

One of my all-time favorite dishes to order at sushi bars is albacore or yellowtail sashimi with ponzu-a citrus-based soy sauce-and jalapeño (though they sometimes add way too much sesame oil for my taste). The name changes from menu to menu, but no matter the title, I absolutely love it. Here's an at-home version that's a cinch to throw together and super-nutritious. It's perfect for you or to impress your sushi-loving guests. Though you might be tempted to omit the salt, I wouldn't recommend it. This is actually a great dish for exotic sea salt. A light sprinkle can add real depth to the dish.

Yield makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounces sashimi- or sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into 8 equal slices
8 very thin jalapeño slices (rounds)
2 teaspoons ponzu sauce (look for it in the international section next to the soy sauce)
Sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Arrange the tuna slices on a plate so the slices are touching in the center and point outward (like a starburst pattern). Place a piece of jalapeño in the center of each tuna slice. Drizzle the ponzu evenly over the top. Season with salt. Serve immediately.

GRILLED OR PAN-COOKED ALBACORE WITH SOY/MIRIN MARINADE



Grilled or Pan-Cooked Albacore With Soy/Mirin Marinade image

If you're concerned about which fish are environmentally safe to eat, you can't do better than consulting the Web sites of the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the Environmental Defense Fund for their handy pocket guides for buying seafood (or choosing it in a restaurant). You won't break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department. Among my findings were albacore steaks, one of the few types of tuna that we can still enjoy with a clear conscience, and a great fish if you're trying to eat more omega-3s. This is a sweet/savory marinade that I also use for tofu. If you are concerned about the quantity of soy sauce, know that most of it stays behind in the bowl when you cook the fish. If you are using frozen albacore steaks, wait until they are partly thawed before marinating.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds albacore steaks

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger and sugar in a bowl and whisk together well. Whisk in the sesame oil.
  • Place the albacore steaks in a large bowl or baking dish and toss with the marinade. Cover the bowl, or transfer the fish and marinade to a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or longer.
  • Prepare a hot grill, or heat a heavy cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade. Cook the steaks for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like the fish to be. Serve hot.
