🥗Healthier: salmon

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Tilapia is a budget-friendly fish option.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and works well for grilling.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano pepper

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Bell pepper adds flavor without the heat.

Marinate the tuna steaks in mojo marinade with lime juice for about 1 hour, ensuring they are well covered but not marinated too long due to the lime juice cooking the tuna.

Chop fresh mangos, sweet red pepper, green pepper, red onion, and cilantro for the salsa.

In a bowl, mix the chopped ingredients with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, ground pepper, and sea salt, then set aside.

Heat a pan and add a little olive oil and butter for searing the tuna steaks.

Ensure the grill or pan is very hot before adding the marinated tuna steaks, placing them away from you to avoid splatter.

Pan-sear the tuna steaks for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, checking for a nice golden brown on the top and bottom while keeping the middle pink.

Plate the seared tuna with the mango salsa and serve.
