Seared Tuna with Maple Soy Sauce

Posted on by Ella

Mmmm…fresh seared tuna. When we say fresh, we mean FRESH. 

One of the awesome advantages of living in Florida [or in any coastal region], is the ability to get truly fresh fish.

Nothing compares to a straight from the water, never frozen, piece of tuna. We were blessed with this catch coming from our neighbor!

It’s always fun to share your harvest with others; you get to tell them about the adventure of trip, the catch, and the company. The second best part is getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor. 

We can tell you this was no average tuna fishing trip our neighbor embarked on. Spanning several days, he and his group caught several massive fish including two tuna, each weighing in at over 200 pounds!

Since becoming recipients of some of this fresh, fatty tuna meat, we couldn’t stop day dreaming about dinner. Tuna is best under cooked or ‘seared’. Since searing tuna is only the cooking method in this house, the difficult part was narrowing down what flavors to add to it. There are so many options; do you add sweet, salty, sour, spicy, or a combination of flavors? 

We finally settled on two different preparations. The first was going to be a full seared tuna steak with a maple soy glaze and the second would be seared tuna pieces in a sweet & spicy sauce.
