DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl. Rub the tuna steaks with the mixture. Place the steaks in a sealable container and chill in refrigerator 3 hours.
Combine the mango, bell pepper, Spanish onion, green onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; stir. Add the lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and toss to combine. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
Stir together the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator and gently rinse with water and then dip each side of each steak in the spice mixture to coat.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently lay the tuna steaks into the hot oil. Cook the tuna on one side for 3 minutes; remove to a plate. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the skillet and let it get hot. Lay the tuna with the uncooked side down into the skillet and cook another 3 minutes; remove from heat immediately.
Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mango salsa onto each of 4 plates. Lay the tuna steaks atop the salsa and serve immediately.

This is on the spicy side. It is excellent. We had a dinner party half of the group did not like spicy so when I made the rub I used only 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper and I had to double up on the other dry rub ingredients. I also made to separate Mango Salsa one with jalapeƱo the other without. The result the non spicy people enjoyed except for one. I will definitely make this again.

WOW! I've been wanting to make Ahi tuna and came across this recipe. I can't believe how good this was! My husband said it was better than some of the ahi tuna we've had in restaurants! I did make just a couple of changes: 1-I added avocado to the mango salsa. Just thought it would taste good. It did! 2-After marinating the tuna, I only seasoned it with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. 3-I coated the tuna steaks with black and white sesame seeds. 4-I like my tuna very rare, so I only cooked each side until it was opaque in color. But when you sliced the fish, the bright red color showed thru. This is a fantastic recipe. Thanks so much!

Great recipe! I made this for a family picnic, and it was a huge hit! We made them on the grill, and they turned out great. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this recipe with only 2 changes. I omitted the bell pepper in the salsa and broiled the fish instead of pan frying. This was a great meal and will be a regular in my house. I served it with sliced kiwi, apricots and green and wax beans. Beautiful looking plate with all the flavor I was looking for. It is VERY spicy but thats what we like.

My 5 star review is only for the rub part of the recipe. I'll update it once we make the mango salsa - we just didn't have time or ingredients for it this time. The rub is absolutely incredible! We recently moved to Japan and we got some super fresh tuna down at the port. We put on the olive oil part of the rub and then went out kayaking for the afternoon. We got home and made the rub just like the recipe called for, except we left out the thyme because we didn't have it. My husband grilled the tuna steaks and it was absolute perfection. We served it with roasted garlic couscous and grilled eggplant. Everything was wonderful. Definitely have a little water on hand because the fish has kick!

I really like salmon and I really like spice, but this wasn't for me. I marinated the salmon for a day and rubbed it with the seasonings as directed, so I was surprised when I found it lacking in flavour. It just needed something. I also found that 3 mins per side over medium heat didn't blacken the salmon at all. An alright dinner, but I'm glad I didn't buy anything special to make it.

Really good! I overcooked the fish just a bit, but that was my fault. I used store bought mango chutney instead of making homemade mango salsa. I would definitely make this again and be more careful about how long I cooked the fish.

Fantastic recipe! I went to Whole Foods for fresh mangos and they had mango salsa already made. Looking on back, exact same ingredients so I took the short cut. The seasonings for the tuna mix so well with the salsa. I was worried about adding 9 spices but it was perfect. I cannot wait to try this again making the salsa from scratch. My bf said it was the best meal of his life. He couldn't stop talking about it. Thanks!
