GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH MANGO SALSA
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 STEAKS WITH ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALSA
Steps:
- First make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the corn. Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife. Heat a large heavy-based skillet or frying pan without any fat over high heat until almost smoking. Add the kernels and dry-roast until tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them until the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 minutes. Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cool so the skins loosen. Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds. Dice the flesh.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil. Heat, stirring, until hot. Take from the heat and keep warm.
- Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or grill. Broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill until done to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning. Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each. Serve at once.

- 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.

Tips:
- Select the freshest tuna steaks possible. Look for steaks that are bright red in color and have a firm texture. Avoid steaks that are brown or have any off-odors.
- Sear the tuna steaks over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor of the fish.
- Cook the tuna steaks to your desired doneness. The USDA recommends cooking tuna steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Serve the tuna steaks immediately with your favorite salsa. You can also top the steaks with grilled vegetables, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
