    Copycat Saltwater Grill Grilled Tuna

    Copycat Saltwater Grill Grilled Tuna

    Copycat Saltwater Grill Tuna

    Copycat saltwater grill grilled tuna is served over gluten-free buckwheat noodles stir-fried with Asian vegetables. Based on Saltwater Grill, Galveston Tx, this fancy recipe really felt high-class.  I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend for a charter fishing trip.  It was a top-notch trip and the restaurant is a top-notch restaurant in every way.

    It was a $24 dish and not something I can afford except on super special occasions like vacations.  I did my best to recreate it so maybe we can make it occasionally at home on our budget.   If it's easy to you on your budget I recommend the restaurant, it is amazing.

    What I did to recreate the dish

    I took a picture while I was there and started from scratch so it won't be exact.  Plus, I always make everything with my choice of healthier ingredients so mine likely has fewer calories and maybe sodium.

    First I had to find buckwheat noodles.  I'm really surprised that they are not more readily available.  I checked a few grocery stores before I gave up and ordered in bulk from Amazon.com, click here.  Because of that, you'll see more buckwheat noodle recipes on this blog lol.  🙂  As of now I am not an Amazon affiliate, they bumped me because no one bought from here.

    Next, you will want to buy the following ingredients.

    Our tuna was frozen so Mod taught me a trick I didn't think possible.  She filled the sink with water at the hottest temperature our sink goes.  The tuna defrosted really fast and seemed non the worse for wear.  Tell me if I'm wrong on this.

    3.  If possible multi-task or have someone grilling the meat at the same time or if you don't have a grill like us using a skillet with a little oil cooking to your desired level.
    4.  Once the oil is hot, carefully add the noodles and all the vegetables except the peppers and bamboo as they cook faster.
    5. Stir-fry adding oil as needed and adding the bamboo and peppers once the other veggies start to turn darker in color.

    Our noodles were lighter in color and our meat was more well done looking.  We also used Ahi tuna and they used yellowfin.  The ahi was because it was what we found at Aldi for only $5.99 for three pieces.  And you'll notice we don't have the grill marks on ours because we opted out of using the grill.
