Asian inspired marinade. I have served it with Asian Cabbage Slaw (#64032) both as a main dish and an appetizer. Make a partial recipe of the slaw recipe and use as garnish with sliced tuna drizzled with soy sauce.

SEARED AHI TUNA WITH BLACKBERRY-PASSION FRUIT MARINADE

Seared Ahi Tuna with Blackberry-Passion Fruit Marinade image

This is a great summer dish. The marinade is great for grilling tuna, too. I usually serve this with a spinach salad with my passion fruit-dijon vinaigrette or my fennel salad. You can serve it with steamed white rice or over lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, or fennel. Pair it with a passion fruit lemonade, a fruity cocktail, or a glass of light and fruity wine.
