Brighten up your weeknight dinner with a bit of citrus. Blood oranges have pink-tinged orange skin and ruby red flesh. They are usually a little smaller than a regular orange, and the flavor is more tart—like a cross between an orange and a pink grapefruit. The mild flavor of the tuna pairs perfectly with the sweet, citrusy flavor of the blood orange salsa. Seasoning the tuna with salt and pepper provides an excellent seasoning and the salsa provides a moist and flavorful topping.
