Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Triple Citrus Tuna Steak with Mango Salsa.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together the vibrant orange juice, zesty lime juice, and tangy lemon juice.
Step 2
Add in the diced red onion, minced habanero pepper for a kick, cider vinegar, minced garlic, and a pinch of dried oregano to create a flavorful marinade that will elevate your tuna steaks.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the diced mango, fresh chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of pepper to whip up a refreshing salsa that perfectly complements the dish.
Step 4
Now, season your tuna steaks with a little salt and pepper, then immerse them in the marinade, making sure they’re well coated.
Step 5
Let them soak up those delicious flavors for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
While the tuna is marinating, take some potato chips and crush them in a blender until they’re finely ground.
Step 7
Once you have your crushed chips, transfer them to a bowl and set them aside.
Step 8
After the tuna has marinated, remove the steaks from the marinade and gently press them into the crushed potato chips, ensuring both sides are evenly coated for that perfect crunch.
Step 9
Next, heat a heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a pat of butter, letting it melt until the foam subsides.
Step 10
Carefully place the tuna steaks in the skillet and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and get ready to serve.
Step 12
Place the beautifully seared tuna on a plate, generously top it with the vibrant mango salsa, and enjoy this delightful dish alongside a side of fluffy jasmine rice.
Step 13
This meal is not just a feast for the eyes but a burst of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite!.
