Number Of Ingredients 22

TUNA:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 Ahi Tuna steaks
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Kosher salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
AVACADO SALSA:
2 cups tomatoes, diced
1/2 medium white onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, minced
1 lime, juiced plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 avocado, halved and seed removed
1 mango, halved and seed removed
2 tablespoons canola oil
cayenne pepper to taste
cumin to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • AHI TUNA: Turn on grill and set to high. In a small basting bowl, mix olive and sesame oils. Liberally brush the oil mixture over the tuna steaks. Toss both black and white sesame seeds in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Press the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, covering all sides of the fish. Grill the tuna, searing the fish on all sides for 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The fish should have grill marks but still be medium rare in the center. Remove from the grill, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, slice and serve the tuna with grilled avocado-mango salsa and summer greens. SALSA: Turn on grill and set to high. Combine the tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, juice of one lime, and vinegar. Score the cut sides of both the avocado and mango, then brush with a mixture of the canola oil and the reserved 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Grill the avocado and mango for 3 to 4 minutes, turning a quarter turn after 60-90 seconds and removing from heat once cross-hatch grill marks are in place. Discard the skin and chop the seared avocado and mango. Combine with the other vegetables. Season to taste with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, drain any excess liquid and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna was really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try it again with less chili peppers next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish turned out nothing like the picture. The tuna was dry and the salsa was bland.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this dish. The salsa was so good that it made me forget all about the tuna.

The tuna was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the salsa was amazing! I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the tuna for a shorter amount of time.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! The flavors of the tuna and the salsa complemented each other perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This seared sesame tuna with grilled avocado mango salsa was an absolute delight! The tuna was cooked perfectly, with a nice sear on the outside and a tender, juicy inside. The salsa was also delicious, with a great balance of sweet and savory flavor
