Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Place tuna steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger flavor. Do not marinate for too long, as the citrus can start to ‘cook’ the fish.
Remove tuna from marinade and discard the used marinade.
Cook tuna steaks as desired (grill, pan-sear, etc.).
Notes
For best results, use fresh tuna steaks.
This marinade is also excellent for other types of fish or seafood.
