SEARED AHI TUNA WITH BLACKBERRY-PASSION FRUIT MARINADE



Seared Ahi Tuna with Blackberry-Passion Fruit Marinade image

This is a great summer dish. The marinade is great for grilling tuna, too. I usually serve this with a spinach salad with my passion fruit-dijon vinaigrette or my fennel salad. You can serve it with steamed white rice or over lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, or fennel. Pair it with a passion fruit lemonade, a fruity cocktail, or a glass of light and fruity wine.

SEARED TUNA IN BLACK PEPPER CRUST

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram or oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds fresh tuna in one thick piece
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound fresh spinach, well rinsed, dried and trimmed of heavy stems
1 cup cooked white beans (cannel- lini beans)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Beat the lime juice, marjoram and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil together. Set aside.
  • Trim any dark areas from the tuna, then cut it into four equal pieces, trimming them a little if necessary to make four rectangular logs. Press the cracked black pepper over the outside of the pieces of fish.
  • Heat all but a teaspoon of the remaining olive oil plus the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the fish in the skillet (to avoid splattering) and sear each piece for barely a minute, then turn and continue to sear the fish pieces briefly on each of the remaining three sides. Remove the fish to a warm plate. The fish should be rare in the middle.
  • Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Add the spinach and saute it for a few minutes, until the spinach is barely wilted. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper and continue to saute until the spinach is wilted but is still a bright green and the beans are completely heated through.
  • Divide the spinach mixture equally among four dinner plates. Cut the blocks of seared tuna into slices one-half-inch thick and array the slices on top of the spinach. Briefly beat the vinaigrette, then drizzle the vinaigrette around the tuna and the spinach. The plates are now ready to be served.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tuna is cooked evenly, use a thick cut of tuna steak, at least 1 inch thick.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh peppercorns and grind them just before using.
  • To create a crispy crust on the tuna, sear it in a hot skillet until the peppercorns are fragrant and the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • To make the passion fruit sauce, use ripe passion fruits and strain the seeds before using.
  • To enhance the flavor of the sauce, add a splash of white wine or champagne.
  • For a beautiful presentation, spoon the passion fruit sauce over the tuna steaks and garnish with fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Peppercorn-crusted tuna on a passion fruit canvas is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tuna is cooked to perfection and the peppercorn crust adds a delicious savory flavor. The passion fruit sauce is sweet and tangy, and it complements the tuna perfectly.
