How to Make Tropical Tuna Salad Supper

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons marmalade, 1 tablespoon tamari sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and a pinch of your favorite hot sauce.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
  4. Add 1 cup diced mango (or substitute with 1 cup diced pineapple or peaches), 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color), 1-2 small Thai chilies, finely minced (adjust to taste), 1/2 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup shelled edamame, and 1/2 cup segmented oranges.
  5. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Season two 4-6 oz tuna steaks with salt (seasoning salt works great!), and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Sear tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (rare to medium-rare recommended). Let rest slightly, then slice.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives over the salad.
  9. Add the sliced seared tuna to the salad and toss gently to combine.
  10. Top with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and serve immediately with plantain chips.
