Preparation
In a large non-aluminum bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Add the tuna filets and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.
To cook, sear in hot pan or grill over hot coals for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until just done through. Do not overcook. Cool thoroughly, cut into small cubes and toss with the salad ingredients.
For the salad
Peel the mango by cutting a small cap off each end and standing it upright on your cutting board. With a sharp knife, shave off the peel from top to bottom in strips, following the contour of the fruit. Cut slices of fruit off the pit and chop the slices into a small dice. Place the mango in a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients including the albacore. Season with additional lime if desired.
Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
