Seared Tuna Steak With Avocado Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

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:

• Vinaigrette:.
• Combine red pepper, serrano pepper, red onion, vinegar, olive oil, chili sauce and kosher salt to make the vinaigrette.
• Mix well and set aside.
• Fish:.
• Season tuna with salt and pepper.
• Sear tuna on a very hot skillet with olive oil.

• Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking.

• Dice the avocado into 1" cubes.
• Dice the tomatoes.
• Mix the tomato and avocado together.
• Serving Recommendation.
• Place fish on serving dish.
• Top with diced avocado and tomato.
• Splash liberally with vinaigrette.
• Garnish with cilantro.
• Serve immediately.
• Changes:.
• Again, I like to add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to give the flavors a little more punch, I only use 2 tablespoons olive oil in the vinaigrette to make it more bulky, and I like to garnish the fish with chopped cilantro instead of sprigs.

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.

Steps:

• For the salsa:
• Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt to taste.
• For the fish:
• Spread the sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then rub thoroughly with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper.
• Press both sides of each steak into the sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
• Gently lay the tuna in the pan and cook until the seeds are golden brown 1.5 - 2 minutes.
• Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook until just golden brown on the second side, 1.5 - 3 minutes depending upon your desired doneness.
• Serve with the salsa.

Steps:

• Marinate the Ahi tuna steaks in soy sauce and chili flakes. The soy sauce should cover the steaks. Use more if needed. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Mango salsa: Dice the mango, bell pepper and onion. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Salt to taste. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Wasabi-avocado cream: Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth or mash with a fork.

• Heat a cast iron pan and sear tuna steaks for 2 minutes per side for medium or 4 minutes per side for well-done.
• Spoon wasabi-avocado cream and mango salsa on the plate and lay Ahi tuna steak on top.
