Well it's that time of the year again so this past Friday I decided to go big on a nice seafood meal.
Here's the pics then the writeup:
What we have is grill seared Ahi Tuna (sushi grade). Rubbed it with sunflower oil, seasoned with salt, pepper, dehydrated onion flakes, garlic powder, and a little bit of kashmiri red pepper (think cayenne pepper's close cousin).
Next is grilled stuffed jalapenos. The stuffing was cream cheese blended with my homemade salmon lox (no bacon here so the cured salmon lox was the perfect substitute in this case).
Finally you have skillet roasted brussel sprouts sauteed with cauliflower, some dehydrated onion flakes, and some chicken bullion + water (no actual chicken in the bullion).
The meal was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!
The pictures were a last second inspiration so I did what I could to snap a couple presentable ones as me an the ol' lady had most of our attention on eating the meal versus looking at it hahaha.
If you've never had grill seared ahi tuna like this, you are missing out! The key is the grade of fish. Not the lesser cuts of yellow fin tuna, or cuts from the less ideal size/age yellow fin tuna, not some random tuna, not tuna from a can... the real deal sushi grade Ahi Tuna!
I would do this meal again in a heartbeat. I have plenty of salmon lox and just need to pick up more jalapenos and cream cheese. Those grilled suckers could have been a meal on their own.
I have 2 more ahi tuna steaks that I can use for this Friday. I'm all set! :D
I hope you enjoyed checking this meal out and if any of you are doing Lent then maybe it will give you an idea for these upcoming Fridays :)
