1 Green Onion, Chopped
1 Jalapeno Pepper, Seeded & Diced
1/2 Bunch of Cilantro, Chopped
Juice of 1 Small Lime
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

Blackening Seasoning (if you choose to make it rather than buy it):

2 Teaspoons - Salt
1 Teaspoon - Black Pepper + Dried Thyme + Dried Basil + Dried Oregano

Note on Tuna Steaks: Select your steaks from the Seafood Counter at the Grocery Store. Don't buy the bag of frozen steaks that you can't inspect. Yes, the Seafood Counter Steaks were most likely previously frozen, but you still can see the color and quality rather than buying a bag of mystery.

Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Place your steaks in an airtight container, add the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or so. Now go enjoy a glass of wine or catch up on some TV. A couple of hours in, make your salsa. Combine all of your prepped ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until you're ready to use. Don't make this too early or your mango will turn to mush (gross!).

After 3 hours or so, remove your steaks from the marinade, pat them dry and coat both sides with the blackening seasoning. --Want a lot of heat? Coat it on thick. Your salsa will help cool it, but it has a little bite of its own (the jalapeno kind).-- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When it's hot, add the steaks gently...don't crowd them! Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then gently flip and cook an additional 3 minutes. If your olive oil has dried up, add a little more to the pan (not on top of the steaks) and turn a little to coat. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest a minute or two. Place on individual bowls or plates, top with the salsa and dig in!!
