Ingredients
| 2 | mangoes |
| 6 | tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped, plus whole leaves for garnish |
| 1/2 | tsp freshly ground black pepper |
| (6-ounce) fresh tuna steaks | |
| Cooking spray | |
| Salt to taste |
Directions
Peel the mangoes and dice the flesh into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Place the mango relish in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Lightly press the coarsely-ground black pepper into one side of each tuna steak. Sprinkle with salt. Place the fish, pepper-side down, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook on both sides over medium-high heat until the fish is seared on the outside but still pink in the center. Cut the seared tuna on the bias into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Mound the mango relish in the center of each plate. Arrange the tuna slices so they overlap and form a circle around the relish. Garnish with fresh, whole cilantro leaves.
