How to Make Ahi Tuna On Grilled Pineapple W Lime Mustard

- Halve a fresh pineapple lengthwise. Reserve one half for another use.
- Peel the bottom half of the pineapple, remove the core, and cut into 6 (1-inch thick) round slices.
- Grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and grill marks appear.
- Remove from heat, brush both sides generously with the lime mustard, and set aside to cool completely in the refrigerator.

- To serve: Place 2 tuna chunks on each pineapple slice. Sprinkle with sea salt and lime zest to taste. Serve chilled.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
