Chef Michael Bloise of Wish, The Hotel Miami Beach shares his recipe for grilled, passionfruit marinated tuna.

A perfect example of clean flavors represented on the menu at Wish.

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 4 ea Tuna loin portions, 6-8 oz
  • 1 Florida , fresh
  • 3 Tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and marinated tuna for 2 hours in refrigerator.

For the salad:

  • 1 Dragon fruit, peeled and diced into ¼" chunks
  • 4 Portions of your favorite greens (spinach, watercress, red oak, etc..)
  • ½ cup Almonds, slivered
  • 1 Red onion, small julienne
  • 6 oz. Dijon dressing (*see below)

For the dressing:

  • 1 Shallot, peeled and sliced
  • 2 Thyme sprigs picked
  • 1 ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 3 Tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil

Combine all the ingredients, except oil, in a food processor. After mixture is semi-smooth, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing has reached proper consistency. You may need to add more or less oil, depending on your preference. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reserve in refrigerator.

Grill the tuna, slice and serve over dressed salad.

This is a wonderful dish that combines the heartiness of the summer grill with the lightness of fresh local tropical fruit! Enjoy!
