Ginger-Lime Tuna Marinade

This recipe is a meld of several I saw online. We can't have all the ingredients for most marinades on the Elimination Diet, so here's my modified version:

1/4 C. olive oil
1 Tbsp. dark sesame oil
1/4 C. lime juice
1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger root
1 Tbsp. sliced green onion
1/4 C. chopped cilantro
1 tsp. sesame seeds
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
Pinch of stevia powder

This was tasty, especially given how little we had to work with. The taste of lime is strong, so bear that in mind if you don't like lime. On this Elimination Diet, we're desperate for whatever we can all have that is acidic enough to permeate and flavor the tuna

All of the original marinades call for garlic, soy sauce, and something sweethoney, maple syrup, orange juice, sweet vinegar (balsamic, rice, apple cider)which we will have to skip. I will add the tiniest pinch of stevia powder to compensate. (In the future, I'd add one or two of them for sure, hoping even for a bit of caramelization on the final tuna steaks!)
