Directions:

Marinade your tuna in sesame oil, soy sauce and fresh lime juice.

Dip the sides of the tuna in sesame seeds and black pepper.

Refrigerate the tuna in the marinade for one hour or more.

Heat your grill to a high temperature, 500 degrees. Coat grill after it’s heated with a small amount of oil.

Sear each side for 1 minute. You want it to be seared on the outside and remain rare on the inside.

Tuna is a great summer healthy dinner and has become super popular.

They are catching tuna in Montauk and Block Island currently, so it should be plentiful on Long Island throughout the Summer months.

Swordfish is also a great source of vitamin D, a key vitamin for bone health that has also proven beneficial for immunity, heart health, and asthma.
