Grapefruit-Ginger Seared Tuna w/ Coconut Rice

October 31, 2015 0 comments Article Lunch, Main Course, Recipes, Seafood, Side Dishes, Vegetables

Grapefruit Ginger Tuna Jiggy GreensI am not sure what it is, but I have been seriously craving fish recently. Which is definitely not a bad thing! I didn’t want to get stuck making the same old fish dishes that I always do, so I was on a Pinterest search for some unique new recipe ideas. I found a recipe from Jamie Oliver that sounds too delicious not to try.

For my tuna, I decided to marinate the fish rather than serving it with a grapefruit salad. I also omitted asparagus from my “jiggy” greens, simply because I didn’t have any on hand. The grapefruit and ginger marinade gives the fish a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy coconut rice and salty-savory greens.

I finally got an awesome new microplane zester from a German company called Deiss too, which was perfect for grating the ginger for the marinade. They are offering my readers 15% off, so if you are looking for some new kitchen gadgets check them out! Use the code: MRMRCCMC for 15% off!

  • 2/3 c Jasmine rice

  • For the coconut rice, bring 2/3 c Jasmine rice, 1 c coconut milk and 1/4 c water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let sit for 10 additional minutes before fluffing with a fork and adding 2 T lime juice.
  • For the "jiggy" greens, heat sesame oil over medium heat in a saucepan.
  • Add garlic and red chili and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
