Roasted Apple Bacon Ahi Tuna Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
• Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
• Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
• Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
• Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.

ROASTED APPLE BACON AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Take the four tuna fillets and wrap two pieces of bacon around the fillet. Place in refrigerator for later use. In a small bowl combine the red pepper, garlic, parlsey, shallot, vinegar and half of the oil and mix together with a whisk. Hold for later use. In a hot pan place a teaspoon of oil in a medium pan. Place the tuna steaks with the bacon crease down first. When the tuna and bacon are brown on one side turn them over and place into a 400 degree oven for another 5 minutes. In another small bowl toss watercress, the remaining oil, orange segments, avocado and salt and pepper. Toss the ingredients and divide into four seperat plates. Remove the tuna from the pan and cut diagonally with a sharp knife. Place the tuna over the watercress salad and drizzle roasted pepper relish over the tuna. Season with salt and pepper.
