Soy Marinated Tuna Kebabs
Savory, Asian-inspired seafood, now in kebab form!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 lb tuna fillet cut into 24 chunks
- 16 shishito peppers or mini bell peppers
- 8 cremini mushrooms halved
- 1 medium eggplant cut into 16 cubes
- cooking spray
Instructions
-
Soak eight 12-inch wooden skewers in water 15 minutes.
-
Stir together 1/4 cup cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sesame seeds, and black pepper in a big bowl. Set half of the resulting marinade aside. Add tuna to the remaining marinade in the bowl and toss to coat, then let it chill for 15 minutes.
-
Remove the tuna from the marinade. Place the marinade in a saucepan and boil it for 2 minutes. Thread tuna, shishito peppers, mushrooms, and eggplant onto skewers; make sure tuna is the starting and ending ingredient on each.
-
Heat a grill pan on medium-high and coat with cooking spray. Grill the skewers until they're charred, 3 to 4 minutes, making sure to turn them once. Brush with cooked marinade during last minute of grilling. Place the skewers on a plate and top them with the reserved marinade and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.
