Ingredients

Watermelon salsa:

  • 2 cups watermelon, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon sliced onion
  • 1 tablespoon diced poblano pepper or 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced sweet yellow pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

For spice blend:

Directions

To prepare the watermelon salsa, in a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

To prepare spice blend, grind all spices in a mini food processor or spice grinder they are powdery. Spread the spice mixture evenly on a large plate.

Rinse the tuna fillets and pat dry. Place one side of each piece of tuna into the spice mixture. Shake off excess.

In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over high heat until almost smoking. Carefully place two of the tuna fillets, spiced side down, into the skillet. A spice crust should form within 1 minute. Using kitchen tongs, turn over the tuna, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 2 to 5 minutes to desired doneness. Repeat the process with the remaining tuna fillets. For Watermelon Salsa:

    This was a great dish. I substituted grouper for the tuna and served it with risotto. I've made it 5 times for dinner guests. They rave about it.

    This was easy to prepare and tasted wonderful. We served it with some breaded, deep-fried zuchini and the watermelon salsa complimented that well, too! I will certainly make it again.
