GRILLED TUNA WITH BELL PEPPER SALSA
So pretty.
Ooo. Fish. Fish has always seemed a bit mystical to me, most people I know never cook the stuff. A good tuna steak is pretty cheap, and very tasty. It's great way to get into cooking a good cut of fish, and the fresh peppers are just coming into season, which means they'll be cheap and yummy.
Ingredients:
~3 cups de-seeded chopped tomato (any will work, here. Pick one you like)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
5 tblsp lime juice
1 tsp olive oil
4 boneless skinless tuna steaks
In a bowl, mix the tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, chiles, garlic, and 2 tblsp of the lime juice. Cover, and let it hang out for a while so the flavors mix. I'd make this the night before, if possible.
Mix the remaining lime juice with the oil. Rinse the fish and pat it dry, then brush both sides with the lime mixture. Fire up your grill for medium heat, and slap some olive oil on the grill's grate so the fish doesn't stick. Cook for about a minute and a half, flip, then cook for another 2 minutes. It should be browned but still a pale pink in the center.
Put it on a plate, top it with the salsa. Easy.
