From inside the carton of a tube of Amore Garlic Paste. Saving here for safe keeping as I couldn't find the same recipe already posted. I am guessing on times as I haven't had a chance to make this yet since we still have several feet of snow on!!! (Doesn't include marinating time.) **Made this last night on the griddle pan on the stovetop. Loved it and can't wait to try this on the charcoal grill... Light, filling and flavorful!

GRILLED TUNA WITH MANGO-PAPAYA SALSA



Grilled Tuna With Mango-Papaya Salsa image

Yummy tuna with salsa. The salsa is soooo good. Depending on the size of your mango and papaya, you should have some extra salsa left. I like to use the rest of it up as a snack with tortilla chips. Recipe by chef Keith Famie. Note: Probably any sturdy fish would be good in this recipe ie. Mahi Mahi or swordfish, etc... Enjoy!

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 papaya, peeled, seeded and diced
1 mango, peeled, seed removed, and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 lime, juice of
salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tuna steaks, 6 oz each
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Salsa:.
  • Combine the papaya, mango, red pepper, cilantro, pepper flakes, honey and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Tuna:.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill and heat to medium high heat.
  • Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each piece with oil to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill grates. Place the tuna on the grill and rotate 90 degrees after about 1 minute or so. Grill an additional 2 minutes, then turn over and repeat the process. Cook to the desired doneness. Keith recommends medium-rare.
  • Serve each tuna steak with a scoop of mango-papaya salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Look for sashimi-grade ahi tuna that is fresh and has a deep red color.
  • Cut the tuna properly. Slice the tuna against the grain into thin, even slices.
  • Make the marinade ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Sear the tuna quickly. Overcooking will make the tuna tough.
  • Make the mango salsa fresh. This will ensure that the flavors are bright and vibrant.
  • Serve the tuna immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Ahi tuna mango salsa is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal.
