• 1 Cup kosher salt

• 1 Cup brown sugar

• 1 orange, zested

• 1 lemon, zested

• 6 (8 oz) albacore tuna fillets

Steps

1

In a small bowl, combine salt, sugar and citrus zest. Layer the brine and fish in a container making sure, if the filets are stacked, there is enough brine between each filet so the individual filets are not touching. Transfer to the fridge and brine for 6 hours.

2

Remove filets from brine and rinse excess. Pat dry and place on a greased cooling rack in the fridge for 30 to 40 minutes.

3

When ready to cook, set Z Grill temperature to 180˚F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Pellet Tube if available.

4

Remove filets from fridge and place directly on grill grate cooking for approximately 3 hours.

5

Increase the grill temperature to 225˚F and cook for an additional hour or until the fish has developed a light brown color and flakes with a fork.

6

Remove from grill and enjoy immediately or allow to cool. Can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
