A perfect marinade is the foundation of unforgettable smoked tuna. A well-balanced brine infuses the fish with depth, moisture, and bold seasoning, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
✔ ¼ cup kosher salt – Enhances the tuna’s natural flavor.
✔ ¼ cup brown sugar – Adds a subtle sweetness to balance the smokiness.
✔ 1 tbsp cracked black pepper – Adds a hint of spice.
✔ 1 tbsp smoked paprika – Elevates the smoky depth.
✔ 2 cloves garlic, minced – Brings a rich, aromatic touch.
✔ Juice of 1 lemon – Brightens the flavors.
✔ 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari – Adds an umami boost.
1️⃣ Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl until fully combined.
2️⃣ Place the tuna fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
3️⃣ Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor absorption).
Smoking is where the true transformation happens. Slow smoking at a low temperature ensures the fish remains juicy, tender, and infused with smoky goodness.
1️⃣ Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
2️⃣ Use mild wood chips like applewood, cherry, or hickory for a delicate smoky flavor.
3️⃣ Place the marinated tuna fillets on the smoker grate, leaving space between each fillet for even smoke circulation.
4️⃣ Smoke for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5️⃣ Baste the tuna occasionally with olive oil and lemon juice to keep it moist and flavorful.
The moment you’ve been waiting for—the perfectly smoked yellowfin tuna, ready to be served, savored, and celebrated.
✔ Thinly sliced with a drizzle of olive oil & sea salt – Enjoy the pure, bold flavors.
✔ Over sushi rice in a sushi bowl – A gourmet sushi experience in a bowl.
✔ Flaked over a crisp salad – The perfect blend of smoky, fresh, and crunchy.
✔ Paired with crackers, capers, and a glass of chilled white wine – A luxurious seafood platter.
