Pan-Seared Blackened Tuna with Fresh Mango Salsa
  1. 1

    Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, and garlic together in a bowl. Rub the tuna steaks with this mixture. Place the steaks in a sealable container and refrigerate for 3 hours.

  2. 2

    Combine the mango, bell pepper, Spanish onion, green onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl and stir. Add the lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, then toss to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Stir the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator, gently rinse with water, then dip each side of each steak into the spice mixture to coat.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently place the tuna steaks into the hot oil. Cook the tuna on one side for 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and let it heat. Place the tuna with the uncooked side down into the skillet and cook another 3 minutes; remove from heat immediately.

  5. 5

    Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mango salsa onto each of 4 plates. Place the tuna steaks on top of the salsa and serve right away.
