I do not have a lot of time during the week to spend working on meals. That is why this is such a great recipe. This is also a great Lent recipe; just use whole tuna. It only requires an hour of marinade time for this to be flavorful and moist. You can’t beat that. I love to marinate with soy; it is so flavorful and versatile. Why not cook this outside and keep clean up to a minimum. Not to mention that grilling imparts a wonderful flavor to everything you cook. This is a great way to enjoy almost any firm flesh type of fish. ## GRILLED ORANGE SOY TUNA BITES **[![grilled orange soy tuna bites](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/grilled-orange-soy-tuna-bites-326x244.jpg?width=326&height=244&name=grilled-orange-soy-tuna-bites-326x244.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/grilled-orange-soy-tuna-bites.jpg)INGREDIENTS:** 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons honey 1/2 cup orange juice 2 teaspoons orange zest 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 1/2 pounds sushi grade tuna cut into 1 inch pieces **DIRECTIONS:** Whisk together oil, honey, orange juice, zest, soy and lemon juice in a shallow bowl.
