Chia Crusted Oven Roasted Tuna With Mango Fruit Salsa Recipe 465

Steps:

• Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
• Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
• Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

Steps:

• MANGO SALSA: In a medium bowl combine mango and pineapple. Add strawberries, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to combine. Set aside. BALSAMIC GLAZE: In a small nonstick saucepan combine brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and the water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture reaches the consistency of maple syrup and coats the back of a spoon; stir frequently. Let stand to cool completely, the mixture will thicken as it cools. CHIA CRUSTED TUNA: Thaw tuna, if frozen. Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle tuna with the pepper. Spread chia seeds on a plate. Press each tuna fillet into the chia seeds to evenly coat one side. Coat a shallow nonstick or foil-lined baking pan with the canola oil. Place tuna, chia seed sides up, in the prepared baking pan. Roast 10 to 12 minutes or until tuna is firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted in centers registers 145°F (centers may still be pink); do not turn tuna over during roasting. Remove tuna from the oven; let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving. To serve, drizzle each plate with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the balsamic glaze (store any remaining glaze in the refrigerator for another use); top with cooked tuna. Spoon salsa over tuna. TIPS: If fresh mango and/or pineapple is not available, use canned fruit instead. We do not recommend using a sugar substitute for this recipe. The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Black Bean Mango Salsa: Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt & white pepper. May be prepared and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.
• Roasted Yellow Pepper Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Seared Tuna: In a large saute pan over high heat, heat the oil until it begins to smoke. Season each steak with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 30 seconds or until brown and crisp. Turn the tuna over, and cook for 10 seconds more or until done to your liking. Cut the seared tuna into 1 1/2" squares just before serving.
• Assembly: 2 cups peanut oil 7 flour tortillas, cut into 6-inch diameter rounds Black Bean Mango Salsa Jicama, julienned Vinaigrette (juice of ? lemon, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt&pepper) Seared tuna steaks Yellow Pepper Vinaigrette 20 cilantro leaves
• In a medium skillet over high heat, heat the peanut oil to 375 degrees F or until an edge of a tortilla sizzles when it is immersed. Fry the tortilla until crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and set aside. For each tostada, toss jicama in vinaigrette and place 2 tablespoons on each tortilla, top jicama with a thin layer of salsa and place a piece of grilled tuna on top. Garnish with a cilantro leaf and yellow pepper vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl. Rub the tuna steaks with the mixture. Place the steaks in a sealable container and chill in refrigerator 3 hours.
• Combine the mango, bell pepper, Spanish onion, green onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; stir. Add the lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and toss to combine. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• Stir together the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator and gently rinse with water and then dip each side of each steak in the spice mixture to coat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently lay the tuna steaks into the hot oil. Cook the tuna on one side for 3 minutes; remove to a plate. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the skillet and let it get hot. Lay the tuna with the uncooked side down into the skillet and cook another 3 minutes; remove from heat immediately.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mango salsa onto each of 4 plates. Lay the tuna steaks atop the salsa and serve immediately.
