• ▢ 1 lime juiced
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢ 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil or coconut oil

for the salsa:

• ▢ 4-5 blood oranges peeled & chopped {about 1 cup}

Instructions

Marinate the tuna:

For the salsa:

• Meanwhile, make the salsa: Stir together blood oranges, avocados, green onions, juice from one lime, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, and salt. Cover and set aside.

For the tuna:

• When ready to cook the tuna, heat avocado, olive, or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
