Seared Sesame Yellowfin Tuna Steaks

Most great seafood recipes are heroing the flavours and freshness of the catch itself. The Fishwife shows us how to get the most out of Greenfish tuna. You will need:

• Greenfish Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
• Coarse Salt
• Sesame Oil
• Sesame Seeds

Preparation:

1. Greenfish Tuna Steaks (250g Steaks, cut around 2 - 2.5cm in thickness). Grind some coarse salt on either side of your steaks. The course salt really enhances the flavour.
2. Place your sesame seeds in a bowl. Place your Tuna Steaks into the sesame seeds coating each side until the sesame seeds completely cover the meat.
3. Heat a pan on a high heat with a good splash of sesame oil.
4. Place your sesame coated steaks into the pan cooking for approximately 1 minute a side - be careful not to overcook! The Tuna only needs a quick 1 minute on each side to achieve a 2mm golden delicious border and a lovely pink centre.

Classic Yellowtail Braai

Preparing yellowtail on the braai imparts a smoky flavour that beautifully compliments this delicious fish. Let The Fishwife show you how. You will need:

• 750g Greenfish Yellowtail Fillet, skin on (plus minus 250g per person)
• A few knobs of Butter
• 2-3 teaspoons of crushed Garlic
• Salt & Pepper

Preparation:

1. Place the fillet on the braai grid skin side down and season with salt and pepper. Spread a few teaspoons of crushed garlic over the fillet and place a couple of knobs of butter on top.
2. Place the grid high above the coals on a medium heat and braai skin side down. Cooking on a medium heat high above the coals will prevent the skin from burning. You will see the meat change from translucent pink to white. Cook until you can see this colour change has just gone past halfway (this process will take approximately 15 -18 minutes).
3. Flip the grid over so that the flesh side is now above the coals and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until almost done. When the fillet looks 95% cooked remove from the heat as it will continue to cook once taken off the coals.
4. Enjoy with friends!
