Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Ahi tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Zest of lime

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and lime zest to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes if pressed for time or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor infusion.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates with remaining olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Place the steaks on the preheated grill.

Step 5

Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. The interior should be slightly pink and tender.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled ahi tuna steaks to a serving platter and let them rest for a minute or two.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, adding a touch of brightness and herby flavor.

Step 8

Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete low-sodium meal.
