So it’s January again and time to kick start eating healthier after all that holiday food! I loved this version of seared tuna. The creaminess of the avocado and punch of refreshing mango is just delicious together. So quick and easy to throw together on a busy weeknight.

For the salsa:
1 mango, pitted, peeled and diced
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
2 green onions, minced
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
½ jalapeno, seeded and minced
Juice of 1 lime
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

For the tuna:
2 ahi tuna steaks (4 to 6 ounces each), about 1 inch thick
Avocado oil
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine all the salsa ingredients and toss to mix.

Make the tuna: Brush both sides of the tuna with a small amount of avocado oil. Season both sides with the sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper.

Heat a large ceramic nonstick skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna and sear for 2 minutes on one side. Turn the tuna over and sear the other side for 2 minutes, until browned and crusty on the outside and rare inside.

Serve the salsa with the tuna steaks.
