Sabroso Saturday: Grilled Garlic Lime Tuna #SabrosoSaturday

It’s Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health.

********************

This past week, while at church, a few of the women began chatting about recipes. After listening to them, I was inspired to go home and try a new recipe: Grilled Garlic Lime Tuna.

It was a HUGE hit in my home! It was easy to make. Its nutricious – very high in omega-3 fatty acids and proteins. I loved it. The family loved it. I can’t rave about it enough!

For this recipe, I didn’t have time to get to the fish market and so used frozen tuna. I’m sure it would have tasted better with fresh fish; however, because I used frozen it cut prep time, which was a trade-off I was willing to take.

Also, it took me all of 5 minutes to prepare the tuna. Marinating it took longer. I left it marinating for about 45 minutes on the counter. If you’re pressed for time – 30 minutes will suffice. You can also leave it marinating overnight in the fridge if you want to prepare it ahead of time.

I loved the simplicity of this recipe. I also love how it can be used for a family dinner OR a romantic dinner. It’s not a heavy meal so it won’t weigh you down and looks fabulous when served. This recipe is perfect for when you want to create a lasting impression. Just keep in mind, that the recipe is for two. I doubled it for my own family.

Enjoy & have a Sabroso Saturday!
