For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of grated orange zest to the marinade. When grilling tuna, it's essential not to overcook it. Tuna is best served medium-rare to medium for optimal tenderness and flavor. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also broil the tuna in the oven. Preheat the broiler and place the tuna steaks on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. To make mango salsa, dice one ripe mango, half a red onion, one red bell pepper, and a jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Mix with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
