Tuna II: A Success Story

I tried tuna again after my disastrous mistake a couple nights ago.  My god was that terrible.  In any case... turned out much better!  Marinated in a soy based... marinade.  I made a sauce to put over it by reducing some soy sauce and brown sugar with a few whole cloves of garlic.  It was yummy.  The side salad had a ginger dressing on it like the ones you get at Hibachi and some other asian restaurants.  I'll probably make the two sauces again,  but maybe not the fish.
Tuna looks a bit over cooked... but was just how I like it so that was nice.  Woot.  Now I never have to cook fish again.

A series of terrible mistakes - Salty Tuna

Tuna steak with brown rice and asparagus.  A reduced shiitake dressing on top.  Forgot I had run out of the reduced sodium soy sauce... so I was using regular soy sauce and adding salt. What a terrible mistake.  Tuna was also a bit over cooked.  0/10 - would not make that way again.
If you don't look too closely and you don't put it in your mouth... everything seems ok!

Look at that overcooked piece of salty tuna. Just terrible.
