There are some days when I stress out at the thought of coming up with yet another recipe. It’s a very scary thought- my brain is a complete blank- no ideas what so ever…. Then there are days when my brain is completely full of ideas- they are actually spilling out and I don’t know what do with them. I try to make notes so I don’t forget- which happens very often.

Anyway, this recipe came about while there were tons of ideas swimming in my brain. A friend brought over the freshest tuna steaks I have ever seen or eaten. Someone had caught two 200 pounds tuna fish and I got lucky! As soon as I saw the steaks, lots of ideas came to mind. It was lunch time and I immediately wanted to make a fresh tuna salad- which I did and it was fabulous- will post the recipe soon.

For dinner I seared the remaining steaks simply with olive oil, salt and pepper- delicous! I have never had better tasting tuna before. When I think of tuna- something fresh and sweet comes to mind. I made a peach and mango salsa. I love making these salads/salsas in the summer especially because everything is in season and scrumptuous looking. It was very simple, a little lime and pinneapple juice with green onions and cilantro. The meal was really delicious and actually very filling- now I know why tuna is great if you are trying to eat less and healthy. I would highly recommend this dish… try it!
