I love a delicious seared ahi tuna. This ahi marinade tastes professionally made and is oh-so-simple to make, marinade, and grill. Enjoy with a bowl of rice, on a salad, with some grilled vegetables, or however you like- the recipe offers versatility. Nothing beats a self-prepared and freshly seared ahi tuna. Pure satisfaction!
