Seared Ahi Tuna With Mango And Avocado Recipes

PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME

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.

SEARED TUNA WITH MANGO SALSA

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.

SEARED AHI TUNA WITH MANGO AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Prep ahi. Place the ahi fillet on a clean, dry surface. Lightly sprinkle all of the sides with sea salt, then either sprinkle or grind black pepper directly onto the top and bottom surfaces of the fillets. The pepper should be a thin, but generous layer.
• Sear ahi. Coat a small sauté pan with grape seed oil and place it over high heat.Once the pan is very hot, add the Ahi and sear each side until it's only cooked through ⅛ to ¼ inch, 1 minute or less per side. (If you don't hear a sizzling sound when the tuna hits the pan, it's not hot enough -- wait for the sizzle!)
• Slice ahi. Remove the seared tuna from the pan and place it on a clean plate. Once it has cooled completely, cut it into thin, evenly sized slices -- about ¼ inch each. Set aside. (You should have at least 14 slices.)
• Prep mango and avocado. Cut the mango into halves. Then, slice each half into approximately 14 evenly sized slices, about ¼ inch each. (Here's How to Cut a Mango.)Cut the avocado into halves. Then, horizontally, slice the half into approximately 14 evenly sized slices, about ¼-inch each. (Here's How to Cut an Avocado.)
• Assemble. Arrange the Ahi, mango, and avocado slices evenly between two appetizer plates -- I like alternating them, but arrange them any way you'd like to. Drizzle with a bit of Tamari or soy sauce, and sprinkle with the chives.
• Serve. Serve immediately, or cover the plates with plastic wrap, drizzle the avocados with a bit of lemon juice, and refrigerate them until you're ready. (Up to an hour or so.)
