Another fish dish for the kids' Sunday dinner included a couple of nice tuna steaks. Having never cooked tuna before, I finally understood where the term "steaks" come from because these guys are dense and meaty compared to the other fresh fish (but in a good way). Read more These tuna steaks make mahi-mahi (which we ate several weeks ago) taste like sashimi (Japanese sushi) despite being cooked the exact same method. Nonetheless, they were good in their own way. As for the recipe, I found an interesting one that was labeled a Korean recipe (just for adding ginger maybe?) and it did give it some Asian flavors and taste. The spinach orzo also turned out well and everyone enjoyed a light, healthy dinner compared to our meat and potato bonanza last night. www.oliviajasonkim.com See less
