Several years ago, while vacationing with a family in one of the hottest countries, tuna was always cooked and served in unlimited quantities in a restaurant. Having tried it once, I was not imbued with love for this product, and my husband absorbed kilograms and did not understand how I do not appreciate that which was in the ocean a few hours ago, and now not frozen several times, but fresh quickly cooked is served in restaurant.
Years passed... And recently I ordered a tuna fillet in one of the online stores. I tried to cook it, and realized that it was really delicious.
I am sharing with you the recipe.
You can serve rice with fish, but today I have limited myself to salad.
To prepare this dish, I needed:
- Packing of frozen tuna fillet - 500 gr.
- Salad mix - 1 pack
- Pine nuts - 50 gr.
- Provencal herbs
- Olive oil
- Pepper, salt
After defrosting, I washed the fillets well under running water and dried each piece with a paper towel. This must be done to remove excess moisture. We are grilling, so we don't need extra liquid.
Now you need to make the marinade. In a small salad bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce (you can add a little balsamic vinegar), Provencal herbs, pepper.
While the grill pan heats up, grease each piece liberally with marinade and let it stand for a few minutes (you can also roll a piece in sesame seeds), salt.
Pour some olive oil into the pan and put the tuna. Fry for 30-40 seconds on each side. If you are sure of the quality of the fish, then it is good if the fish is not completely fried, but there will be a so-called aldente, but if you are not are sure how much fish has been frozen and who is the producer, it is better to expose tuna to a longer thermal processing. It may not be so juicy, but health is more important.
While the tuna is fried, put the salad mix on a plate, fry the pine nuts in a pan.
If cooking in summer or fall, chop the tomatoes well.
Now it remains to collect everything in a plate (s)
Sprinkle the nuts on the lettuce leaves, season with salt and olive oil.
Place the fish nearby.
Delicious, dietary dinner (lunch) is ready!
Today I ate a portion, as in the photo at 14 o'clock, until 19 o'clock I did not think about food.
Bon Appetit everyone!
