GRILLED TUNA WITH MANGO-PAPAYA SALSA
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!

Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix cantaloupe, onion, cilantro, 2 teaspoons oil, lime juice and jalapeño chili in small bowl. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush tuna steaks on both sides with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill tuna until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer tuna to plates. Spoon salsa alongside and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
- Marinate the tuna: Marinating the tuna in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
- Grill the tuna over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the fish and keep the inside moist and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the tuna is cooked to your desired doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Make the hot pineapple-papaya salsa: This salsa is a great way to add a tropical flavor to the grilled tuna. Simply combine pineapple, papaya, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Serve the grilled tuna with the hot pineapple-papaya salsa: This dish is best served immediately with a side of rice or grilled vegetables.

The tuna is grilled to perfection and the salsa adds a tropical flavor that is sure to please everyone. This dish is also relatively easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
