Grilled or Pan-Cooked Albacore With Soy/Mirin Marinade

Ingredients:

  • 1⁄4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 1 1⁄2 pounds albacore steaks

STEP 1

Combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger and sugar in a bowl and whisk together well. Whisk in the sesame oil.

STEP 2

Place the albacore steaks in a large bowl or baking dish and toss with the marinade. Cover the bowl, or transfer the fish and marinade to a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or longer.

STEP 3

Prepare a hot grill, or heat a heavy cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade. Cook the steaks for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like the fish to be. Serve hot.
