instructions for a good Grilled Tuna with Mango and Avocado Salsa
- First Off: Fire up that grill. Medium-high is the sweet spot.
- Tuna Time: Lightly brush ’em with olive oil, season both sides. Once the grill’s sizzling, let them sear. Around 3-4 minutes on each side for that perfect medium-rare.
- Salsa Magic: In between, whip up the salsa. Mango, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and those optional chili flakes – in a bowl, mix without mashing. We need those textures!
Quick Tips
- Fresh Tuna: Make sure it’s firm and has that gorgeous pinkish hue.
- Sizzle, Not Char: Keep an eye on the tuna. Overcooking isn’t fun.
- Spice Alert: If you’re not all about that spicy life, ditch the chili flakes.
Serve It Up
How about pairing the Grilled Tuna with Mango and Avocado Salsa with a light quinoa salad or maybe some steamed greens? The world’s your oyster… or, well, your tuna in this case. Place a hearty scoop of salsa on the tuna, match with your side of choice, and you’re set. Dive in and taste the magic!
