Today I bring you a very easy and very rich recipe. You know that I try to eat a lot fish during the week, but sometimes it is complicated due to lack of time, lack of budget and even lack of ideas. So to get out of the typical baked or grilled fish, today I bring you my mother's star recipe: marinated tuna fillets (oriental style). Therefore, remember that if you want to prepare it for a certain day, you will have to bear in mind that you must leave it for at least 4 to 8 hours marinating. Plus about 30 minutes of drying.
Tuna is a fantastic fish because it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which is very good for lowering cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, thereby reducing the risk of associated diseases. It also has a high content of vitamins and nutrients, which make it one of the more complete fish.
However, its price may not seem very affordable, but you have to remember that from some tuna fillets we do not waste anything, and the weight is real (that is, it has no head or spines). If you are going to buy it to freeze it and use it later, remember to ask the fishmonger if it has already been frozen previously, because there are various fish (for example, the emperor) and also the tuna that are usually sold defrosted (hence their price is also more affordable).
A surprising recipe with an oriental-style marinade

Ingredients
8 red tuna fillets
4 cloves of garlic
4 tablespoons of virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons curry
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon of sweet red paprika (if you want you can mix spicy and sweet)
2 tablespoons of soy
2 tablespoon of lemon
pepper
shawl
Preparation
Season the sirloins to taste. Do not add too much salt, which will later have the flavor of soy sauce, which is very salty.
We put the garlic in the glass and program 8 seconds, speed 5. Then we add the rest of the marinade ingredients (oil, curry, honey, paprika, soy and lemon) and program 10 seconds, speed 4.
In a large container (better if it is made of glass because the paprika and curry stain a lot, so if it is made of plastic ... it will be difficult to clean it) we place the sirloins and add the marinade on top.
We leave it marinating for at least 4 hours, the ideal is 8, but if you don't have much time, 4 is fine. That is, you can prepare it in the morning to take it at noon. Half the time, we turn the sirloins so that they marinate on the other side.
minutes before we are going to cook them, we remove them from the marinade and put them to drain in a colander. And when 25 minutes pass, we dry them well with absorbent paper.
In a very hot griddle or pan, we place the sirloins and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side. It is not necessary to add oil to the grill, because the sirloin is already a fatty fish and it will also have the juice of the marinade, but if you see that for whatever reason it sticks to the grill or is too dry, add a splash.
Serve immediately. I like to accompany it with basmati rice or with boiled potatoes and a salad. Take advantage!
Notes
FREEZING: if they have not been frozen before, the ideal is to freeze them once they have finished marinating. You dry them well and freeze them. That's just defrosting it, drying it well, and back and forth on the iron.
Of course, Maria! That is what it is about, that you prepare our recipes. So go ahead, don't hesitate and get to work. You will see how simple it is. Good luck you will tell me!
Hi Pepi, you can also do it with salmon if you want, it comes out very well. also with fish such as hake, panga, halibut ... but I've never tried it, although I think they have to come out great.

Great Manuel! I await your news then, I hope you like it. All the best!
Hi! I'm going to try this recipe as it looks very good! I wanted to know if you leave it to marinate for 4-8 hours in the fridge or out?
Thank you
