one of our goals as a family for 2012 is to eat fish twice a week. we are actually doing a better job at it than i had expected and one reason is that we have been buying the trader joe’s wild caught tuna. it is frozen, it is very cost effective & not too fishy. this was the first time i had tried this style of marinade and i was very happy with the final results. i haven’t worked much with tuna and marinades, so i read about 100 recipes online and then just merged ingredients by what i had on hand. super easy prep, 30 minutes in the marinade and then a few minutes on each side on the grill and bam, dinner is done.
i served the tuna with green beans topped with bacon and the side carrot salad from one of my favorite bloggers {the nourishing gourmet} cookbooks. the cookbook is called {fresh: nourishing salads for all seasons
an added bonus – this entire meal for our family of 4 cost less than $12!
