Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
- 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
- 2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
- 2 tuna steaks
Directions
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

I did not make the tuna but was looking for a mango salsa recipe and made this one from Ina.
Awesome!!! I served this with burgers. I also served it on it's own with chips, It is so delicious. I have since made this same recipe substituting pineapple and it is also amazing! This is now my go to fruit salsa recipe.

This was excellent! The flavors all worked together beautifully for a tasty restaurant quality meal. I was surprised how simple it was to make and quick too.

The salsa is perfect. I used 1 whole jalapeno, which was way more than 1-2 tsp but I wanted it spicy so I threw it all in. Perfect. Served with orange scented jasmine rice and steamed green beans. Yummy!
