These tuna skewers can be served as an appetizer or as a main course with an Asian-inspired vegetable side dish. The fish is diced and marinated in a teriyaki sauce mixture with ginger, lemon juice, garlic, and sugar substitute for a low-carb option. Bamboo skewers are soaked in water before grilling. This prevents them from burning on the grill. Grill the tuna skewers and serve sprinkled with sesame seeds. The teriyaki marinade adds a unique flavor and keeps the fish juicy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to prevent them from burning during grilling. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place the tuna cubes in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Remove the tuna from the marinade, remove the skewers from the water, and thread the fish onto the skewers. Place the skewers along the edges of the grill, with the longest part of the skewer extending over the edges away from the heat. Stay close and rotate the skewers to prevent the fish from burning. The kebabs only take 3-4 minutes to cook.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Tips for serving
Serve over Sichuan vegetable stir-fry, or if making for a party, insert skewers directly into the sides of a melon half filled with melon balls.
