Billy Joel's Tuna & Cucumber Salad


"Billy Joel's" because I got it out of some magazine featuring celebrity's favorite recipes.

2 servings

1/4 C Teriyaki sauce
1/4 C Fresh lemon juice
1 T chopped parsley
2/3 C & 1 t olive oil
2 (8-oz) fresh tuna steaks
2 small cucumbers, peel, seed, and slice thin
1/4 C white wine vinegar
1 T chopped cilantro
1/2 small red onion, slice thin

In glass pie plate or bowl combine teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, parsley, 2/3 C oil and 1/4 t black pepper. Add tuna steaks, making sure fish is completely covered by marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

In another bowl, combine cucumbers, vinegar, cilantro, 1 t oil, 1/4 t each salt and pepper and onion. Refrigerate at least one hour and up to overnight.

Remove tuna from marinade and discard marinade. Preheat ridged grill pan on medium-high. Cook tuna 4-6 minutes or until browned on both sides but still pink in center, turning once.

Drain cucumber salad. Break tuna into chunks and add to cucumbers.
