Ahi Tuna with Fresh Mango Salsa

Ingredients

For the Tuna:
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons honey
1 lime – zest and juice
2 cloves garlic – pressed or minced
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 inch piece fresh ginger – grated
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
2 ahi (or yellowfin) tuna steaks
Drizzle of olive oil for the pan

For the Mango Salsa:
½ mango
½ red bell pepper any color will work I just think red is the prettiest here
¼ sweet onion
½ large jalapeno see note
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro
1 lime – zest + ½ the juice

To Serve:
Serve over quinoa, rice, or salad

Directions

For the Tuna:
In a shallow dish or bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients until well combined, add the tuna steaks, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Remove tuna from the fridge

Heat a pan over high heat, add the drizzle of olive oil, cook the steaks for ~2 minutes on each side, the tuna will be seared on the outside but rare on the inside (if you want your tuna cooked more increase cooking time on each side)

Plate the tuna steaks and serve with mango salsa and quinoa, rice, or salad as desired

For the Mango Salsa:
While the tuna is marinating chop the mango and red bell pepper into ~1/4” pieces

Finely chop the onion and jalapeno (see notes)

Finely chop the cilantro

Combine mango, pepper, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro in a small bowl

Add the lime zest and juice, stir to combine
