Grilled Hawaiian Sea Salt Tuna Nuggets #SundaySupper

By FamilyFoodie 29 Comments

Hawaiian Sea Salt Tuna Steak #SundaySupper I have had so much fun playing around with great quality finishing sea salts lately. I realized that it can take a just okay dish to an over the top creation with just a little sprinkling. My latest creation, Grilled Hawaiian Sea Salt Tuna Nuggets, is proof that a simply grilled fish can take center stage with the addition of a couple of simple ingredients. And of course, finishing off the dish with a sprinkling of hawaiian sea salt.

Living in Florida, we love to grill year round. Ron and I love hanging out on the lanai with a glass of wine and trying new dishes on the grill. We tend to do a lot of surf and turf at our house because Ron loves meat and I love fish. On a recent evening, we had pork chops and tuna nuggets on the grill and were enjoying Gallo Family Vineyards Merlot and Sweet Wine Blend – two delicious wines that are perfect for summer grill recipes.

Grilled Hawaiian Sea Salt Tuna Nuggets #SundaySupperRon really enjoyed pairing the Gallo Family Merlot with the pork chops and I loved the crisp sweet wine blend with this amazing recipe for Grilled Hawaiian Sea Salt Tuna Nuggets. The grilled tuna nuggets just melt in your mouth – they are a beautiful thing served over orzo and arugula salad. They also work well served over rice.  Add a great glass of wine and you have a meal that is simple, delicious and memorable!

    I agree about those salts. My son gave me a set of gourmet flavored sea salts for Christmas last year and I love having them. This is a great looking recipe Isabel.
