Grilled Tuna With Mango-Papaya Salsa

"Yummy tuna with salsa. The salsa is soooo good. Depending on the size of your mango and papaya, you should have some extra salsa left. I like to use the rest of it up as a snack with tortilla chips. Recipe by chef Keith Famie. Note: Probably any sturdy fish would be good in this recipe ie. Mahi Mahi or swordfish, etc... Enjoy!"

directions

  • Salsa:

  • Combine the papaya, mango, red pepper, cilantro, pepper flakes, honey and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Tuna:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill and heat to medium high heat.
  • Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each piece with oil to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill grates. Place the tuna on the grill and rotate 90 degrees after about 1 minute or so. Grill an additional 2 minutes, then turn over and repeat the process. Cook to the desired doneness. Keith recommends medium-rare.
  • Serve each tuna steak with a scoop of mango-papaya salsa.

  1. This salsa is great! I have lots left over and I'm going to add a jalapeno or two and have it with some grilled snapper soon. The tuna was so easy to make and is a very 'grill friendly' fish. Hint to anyone that has leftover grilled tuna....it makes a great smoked tuna dip!

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
