Fresh Yellowfin Tuna

Someone gave us a huge fresh filet of Yellowfin Tuna. What is the best way to cook it? Marinade it and grill it? Pan sear it?
Does anyone have any marinade suggestions? I'm thinking a ginger soy/Asian marinade would be good.

Barely pan sear all sides, top with sesame seeds, and cracked black peppercorns, slice, the serve with ponzu sauce or a wasabi mayo

If it really is fresh, then I wouldn't marinate it or over season it. Lightly season it with salt and fresh cracked black pepper and grill it or pan sear it with a little olive oil. Keep in mind that tuna cooks really fast, so watch that you don't grill or sear it too long. If you want some other flavors, make a salsa or a sauce to use on the side.

Yes. Best I’ve ever had was on a boat coming back into Port Eads. Friend filleted a loin on top of the ice chest while we were running in and pulled a bottle of soy sauce out of his bag and we just sliced thin and got after it. Man that was a good day.

Sashimi topped with thinly sliced slivers of jalapeño...served with a side of yuzu for light dipping

That's all. I figured the Asian route was the best way to go. This all just reconfirmed that.

You might also try making poke

Slice it thin and eat it raw or make a ceviche.

Olive oil, sea salt, and coarse black pepper. Grill on high for about 2 minutes. Serve with Hurricane Ssuce.
Southside in Slidell used to serve a sandwich like this (maybe they still do). Simple but very good.

Yellowtail is a member of the Jack family. Like an Amberjack. Not a tuna.

If it is yellowfin and fresh I would take a small piece and dice it up small along with an avocado. Top with sesame seeds and an Asian sesame ginger dressing. The rest I would season and seer.
Kens light Asian sesame dressing is surprisingly good on this.

Slice in thin strips and dredge in Zatarains lemon. Deep fry and enjoy.

I don't think someone gave the OP a fresh filet of yellowtail in Louisiana.
Yellowtail and Yellowtail Tuna aren't the same fish.

Mostly because Yellowtail Tuna doesn’t exist.

Someone gave him Yellowfin, not Yellowtail!

As long as it was cooled, I agree. We made a rookie mistake trying to have it “fresh” out the water. 80 degree YF is like thick snot 
Besides carrying soy sauce on the boat, another pro move is ceviche ingredients all mixed in a gallon bag waiting for fresh red snapper.
