This deserves more than 5*'s. We miss the "fresh" ahi that we get back in the islands. I had to use fresh frozen? I grilled it to a medium rare & served it over coucous tossed w/ baby spinach, tomatoes, parsley & parmesan cheese. Topped it off with this amazing L.A.B. butter...yum! Besides cutting the recipe in half & using extra lemon juice, I followed the recipe.
