Gluten Free Marinade For Pan Seared Tuna Fillets

During the Be My Gluten Free Valentine Party, we had a demonstration on making sushi(cooked not raw). I promised the parents I would post the marinade I used on the tuna before pan searing it on the outside.

The following marinade is great on any fish but for sushi I love using tuna. The best part about marinating fish is that it only takes 10 minutes of marinating to impart lots of flavor.


Marinade for Pan Seared Tuna
The following is measurements for enough marinade to do roughly 2 half pound tuna fillets

3 Tablespoons of wheat free Tamari (my favorite brand is San-J)
1 Tablespoon of Rice Vinegar
1/2 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Ginger (fresh zest is best but can use dried powdered ginger as well)
Juice of one Lemon
pinch of Brown Sugar

Marinate the tuna for about 10 minutes or more depending on taste. Heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in skillet or wok (medium high).
Place tuna in hot skillet and cook for about 4 minutes each side if you want a medium rare cut.

After the tuna is browned on each side take it off heat and slice to make sushi or serve as entree on bed of rice.
