How to Make Ahi And Papaya In Citrus Sauce
- **Make the Citrus Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- **Simmer and Thicken:** Reduce heat to low and whisk constantly for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens to your desired consistency.
- **Keep Warm:** Once thickened, remove from heat and keep warm over very low heat.
- **Prep the Tuna:** Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- **Assemble and Bake:** Place 4 (6-ounce) Ahi tuna steaks in the prepared baking dish. Top each steak with 1/2 cup of diced fresh papaya and half of the citrus sauce.
- **Bake to Perfection:** Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the tuna is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your tuna steaks.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle the baked tuna with 1/4 cup sliced almonds. To serve, place each tuna steak on a plate, garnish with 2-3 kiwi slices, and drizzle with the remaining citrus sauce. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
