  • 1/2 Spanish onion, finely chopped

  • 1 green onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

Directions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and minced garlic cloves. Coat the tuna steaks with the sauce. Put the steaks in a large bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

  • In a medium bowl, mix the mango, bell pepper, Spanish onion, green onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. Top with 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil, tossing to evenly coat the mixture. Cover the bowl, and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.

  • In a small bowl, mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Rinse the tuna steaks with water, and sprinkle an even layer of the spice mixture onto both sides of the tuna steaks.

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place all four tuna steaks onto skillet, and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer the tuna to a plate.

  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Place the uncooked sides of the tuna steaks onto the skillet and cook for 3 minutes.

  • Spoon equal portions of the mango salsa onto four plates. Lay the tuna steaks on the salsa. Serve immediately.
