Currently, our poke packs feature a variety of fish, including tuna, bluefish, monkfish medallions, and swordfish. These selections reflect our dedication to both quality and sustainability, ensuring you can enjoy the full bounty of the ocean.
In our recipe, we’ve chosen yellowfin tuna and put a twist on traditional carne asada to create a tangy tuna taco that’s packed with vibrant, mouth-watering flavor. At Chatham Harvesters, we believe in bringing you the best of the sea, with a commitment to both sustainability and delicious innovation.
RECIPE
YELLOWFIN TUNA ASADA
Ingredients:
1- lb Chatham Harvesters Yellowfin Tuna Poke Pack
Marinade:
2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings/Accompaniments:
Chopped cilantro or parsley
Lime wedges
Sliced avocado (optional)
Marinated (see below) and caramelized red onion
Salsa (like a fresh pico de gallo or spicy mango salsa)
Tortillas (for a taco-style presentation)
Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix, together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and let them marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. (Be careful not to marinate for too long, as the acidity from the lime and soy sauce can "cook" the fish.)
Grill or Sear the Tuna:
Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness and how well done you want the tuna. You want a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside medium-rare or medium (unless you prefer it fully cooked).
Serve:
Remove the tuna from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the tuna against the grain into strips.
Serve with tortillas, red onion, pico de gallo, or a fruity salsa, fresh cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges. You can serve this dish as a taco, in a bowl, or even as a salad.
This Tuna "Asada-style" Taco would combine the grilled, smoky, and slightly charred flavor of traditional asada with the fresh, light taste of tuna. It's a fun, dish that's perfect for tacos or served with rice and veggies. Enjoy!
