You don’t have to throw out leftover fish fillets or shellfish after dinner. You can safely reheat seafood for up to 4 days after it has been cooked. Seafood dishes with garlic or onions can taste even better the second time around. The only challenge to reheating seafood is that it can dry out or get a fishy smell.

To cook frozen tuna steak, thaw the steak in its original packaging in the fridge overnight. If you’re short on time, microwave it on the defrost setting at 5-minute intervals until it is thawed enough to bend. Once your steak is thawed, set it on a plate and coat it with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the steak in a sealed plastic bag or container and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, or preferably for several hours. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the steak to the pan. Sear the steak for about 2 ½ minutes on each side, then remove it from the heat. Season it to taste and serve it with your favorite sides. For tips on how to grill frozen tuna steaks, keep reading!
