I just googled tuna steaks and this came up and I had to try it. The contrast of the salty spicy with the mango was wonderful. As luck would have it, I had a mango that was just sitting in my fruit bowl and this was the perfect way to use it. I used some Louisiana blackened spice that I bought on my last trip to Houston so I didn't mix up the spices like the recipe specified but it was still pretty good. Thanks for the recipe.

I think a beat-up pan is a well-loved and used pan. It will give me practice on letting go of my "perfection" issues. HA! I'll let you know how the retry goes... after I make the pan and heat adjustments. Roni ~ Thanks for the response and you are MORE than welcome and deserving of the compliment. :)

SOrry this one didn't turn out for you. DO you have gas or electric stove? I find that a huge factor in cooking. And if I remember correctly I think my pan was pretty black as well. I tend to beat my pots up! :) Thanks for the compliment and feedback Christy! SOrry this one didn’t turn out for you. DO you have gas or electric stove? I find that a huge factor in cooking.

Loved the salsa but I'm going to have to try blackening the fish again. I'm a newbie at blackening and this was actually my first attempt. I ruined my pan combining it with high heat and the cooking spray. It wasn't non-stick, but metal... next time I'll try cast iron. I cooked it the amount of time on the recipe, but there was no pink in the middle, which is the way I like it. That's the fun of cooking, though... testing, tasting, and tweaking. Next time I may also try medium-high since stoves cook so differently. I absolutely love the recipes, Roni. I'm new to your blog and have tried the Acorn Squash, Pumpkin Pasta and Turkey Chili Cornbread Bake. I love how simple your recipes are to prepare, but how flavor-full they are. Thanks so much for sharing the wealth of information and resources that you do. It makes a huge difference. :) I had some ahi tuna from Trader Joes that I wanted to cook up so I searched the site and found this recipe.

I'm saving that salsa recipe though. Maybe I'll try some blackened tofu. *sigh* It's just not the same is it?

Although, I am not sure I want the extra laundry! he he Ahi Tuna is most known for being done seared or Tartare... which I actually like, but if I had it my way, I'd have it cooked in cream and butter! I have to say, your picture and story make it sound pretty good though!!! I wish I had a pickier eater than me in the house to test my food on!

The salsa also had cut up strawberries in it, and the whole thing was served on a bed of stuffing which included Macademia nuts. It was delicious and a bit expensive!

Especially where the toddler is concerned. Some fish are safer than others. I do know that tuna is suspect. i am a hardcore sushi fan and this whole mercury thing has put a real damper on my favorite food. Be careful of the mercury and metal warnings with some fish.

Next weekend can't come fast enough. Perfectly cooked outside, and nice and rare-ish inside. We make fish tacos with these ingredients, bus sometimes DH overcooks the tuna. Another winner.

This Tuna looks amazing and what a PERFECT sear you got too!! So fresh and clean and that mango salsa is so fantastic! I love scallops especially with jerk seasoning and then with a light/refreshing salsa on top! Unfortunately, I've never made my own salsa though! Now I definitely will though! You rock! :) Beautiful Roni! This Tuna looks amazing and what a PERFECT sear you got too!! So fresh and clean and that mango salsa is so fantastic!
