Broiled Tuna With Orange Sesame Glaze


Everybody has heard 'Eat more fish'! Here's a very tasty tuna recipe.

If you can't get tuna this recipe works well with swordfish, cod and halibut.


1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or powdered ginger
4 fresh tuna steaks approx. 6-8 ounces each

In a 1-quart resealable plastic bag, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Add the tuna steaks and let them marinate for 5 minutes. Turn the fish frequently while it's marinating.

Preheat the broiler. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and arrange on a broiler pan; reserve the marinade. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 4-5 minutes, turning the steaks over once, until the fish is just opaque throughout but still juicy.

Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and boil over med-high until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 1-2 minutes. To serve, spoon the glaze over the fish.
