Instructions

Prepare the Tuna: Brush the tuna steaks evenly with olive oil and lime juice, then season both sides with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Heat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a properly seared tuna steak without overcooking.
Grill the Tuna: Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust grilling time if you prefer your tuna more or less done.
Make the Mango Salsa: While the tuna is grilling, combine diced mango, finely chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.
Serve: Remove tuna steaks from the grill and plate them. Top each steak generously with the fresh mango salsa and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

For extra heat, add diced jalapeño to the salsa according to your spice preference.
Tuna is best served medium-rare to maintain tenderness and flavor; however, cooking times can be adjusted based on personal preference.
This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or a crisp light salad for a balanced meal.
