Grilled Albacore with Citrus Ginger Sauce
I try to buy direct from fishermen when I can, but if not, I’m fortunate to live close to Santa Monica Seafood – a great seafood store that always has a large selection of high-quality fish. And when it comes to fish, quality definitely matters. So splurge for sashimi grade quality. You’ll thank me for it!
Anyway, while I was shopping at Santa Monica Seafood the other day they had albacore steaks on sale. Yippee…because I love albacore.
Grilled albacore is super easy to cook. Throw it on the grill, flip after a couple minutes and voila – you’re done. But promise me one thing when you cook this. Please, please, PLEASE don’t overcook it!
Tuna steaks are meant to be pink in the center. They taste a million times better that way. And if you overcook them, they’ll taste dry and blah. Big difference between amazing and blah. I’m just gonna take a stab in the dark, but I think you’ll like amazing waaaay better.
Now for the citrus ginger sauce. In a word. YUM!
Sweet, bright, tangy and delish. So drizzle generously. On both the grilled albacore and cauliflower rice. Of course, you can use regular rice, but why not go for the extra veggies with my fave cauliflower rice?
As for the micro greens, well, don’t they just think they look cute on top? They also make people smile. And smiling makes everything better.
So there you have it. A super easy, yet elegant recipe for grilled albacore.
Enjoy!
