The Ultimate Tuna Marinade
Ingredients
- 3-4 Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 tsp Oregano fresh (alternatively you can use dried)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Place tuna steaks in a big ziplock bag.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a jug and pour into the bag with the tuna steaks.
- Make sure the bag is sealed properly and pop in the fridge. (I placed my bag in a braai dish just to make sure that if there was some leakage it wouldn't make a mess).
- Leave the steaks for 2-3 hours, or overnight, turning the bag over occasionally.
- Remove from the bag and braai or pan fry as you please! Use the excess marinade to baste as you go! Enjoy.

Was hoping you could suggest a good side dish to have with the Tuna. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Love, Love, Love this recipe! I omit the honey because I don’t like the sweet on this particular fish, other than that I follow the recipe exactly. Pan seared to perfection, soooo good!!
