Blackened Tuna Steaks with Mango Salsa
This was delicious but I would make a few changes if I decided to make it again. The salsa was very heavily flavored like cilantro, which I don't care for, even though I added a fresh minced habanero because we love spicy food. So I would cut that in half unless you're a big cilantro fan. Also, depending on the thickness of your tuna steaks, a 3 minute saute time might not be a good idea. I had 1 and 1/4 inch steaks I would estimate and they were definitely on the medium well side after the three minutes on one side and a minute on the other. I prefer my fish midrare to medium, if of good quality of course, so next time I will cut that long saute time in half (doing 90 seconds per). That being said, the dish was a huge hit with my fiance and we made chicken on the grill outside later in the week and topped it with the leftover salsa, greatly impressing our other guests.

Caesar Vinaigrette
Tasty dressing, though I wouldn't really describe it as a caesar. More like a vinaigrette that is slightly reminiscent of a caesar. I didn't have any Italian seasoning so I used a sprinkle of basil, thyme and oregano each and I used about half the recommended lemon zest because that's all I had on hand.

Spinach-Infused Mashed Potatoes
These were horrible. I love spinach and couldn't taste it or anything but the peppers in these mashed potatoes. I would suggest making a standard traditional mash potato over these any day of the week.
