Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -7 ounces portions fresh yellowtail fish fillets
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 whole pineapple, peeled, sliced into 1/4 inch slices, and diced
1 small red onion, peeled, sliced 1 inch thick, grilled, and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Season yellowtail with salt & pepper on both sides, and place on hot grill. Grill to medium (3 minutes per side depending on thickness), as overcooking will lead to a dry finished product. While fish is cooking, place all ingredients for the pineapple salsa in a bowl and toss. When the fish is cooked, place a piece of banana leaf on the plate. Place fish on top of banana leaf and top with pineapple salsa, serve with rice and garnish with a grilled lemon.
  • Salsa can be made 1-2 hours in advance, no need to chill.

Yellowfin Tuna With Fresh Pineapple Salsa image

Inspired by a past trip to Key Largo, this grilled yellowfin tuna is perfectly complimented by fresh and healthy pineapple salsa.

Provided by Cheese Please

Categories     Weeknight

Time 30m

Yield 2 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 habanero pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb yellowfin tuna fillet (sliced into 2-inch thick pieces, the thicker the better, mine were about 1.5-inch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the top of pineapple and the bottom off. Stand the pineapple on its side and with a sharp knife, slice sides of pineapple off. Cut the pineapple into small slices and then remove the core of each slice. (The core tends to be hard to eat, but I've had some pineapples were it was soft). Dice the remaining pineapple into small pieces.
  • Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors marinate.
  • Season each side of the fish with garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
  • Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, until inside of the fish is a nice medium rare. Top with pineapple salsa! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ingredients available. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your grilled yellowtail tuna and pineapple salsa.
  • Properly Prepare the Yellowtail Tuna: Ensure the yellowtail tuna is properly cleaned and cut into 1-inch thick steaks. To remove any excess moisture, pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels.
  • Marinate the Tuna: Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the Tuna Over Medium Heat: Grill the tuna steaks over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and retain their juiciness. Avoid overcooking the tuna, as it can become dry and tough.
  • Make a Refreshing Pineapple Salsa: Combine fresh pineapple, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice to create a vibrant and flavorful pineapple salsa that complements the grilled tuna perfectly.
  • Serve with Grilled Vegetables: Grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus make excellent accompaniments to the grilled yellowtail tuna and pineapple salsa. They add color, texture, and additional nutrients to the meal.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the grilled yellowtail tuna and pineapple salsa with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This grilled yellowtail tuna with pineapple salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a casual dinner party. The combination of grilled fish, fresh salsa, and grilled vegetables creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to impress. With its vibrant colors and tantalizing aromas, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household.
