Add strawberries, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to combine. Set aside. BALSAMIC GLAZE: In a small nonstick saucepan combine brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and the water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture reaches the consistency of maple syrup and coats the back of a spoon; stir frequently. Let stand to cool completely (mixture will thicken as it cools). CHIA-CRUSTED TUNA: Thaw tuna, if frozen. Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC. Sprinkle tuna with the pepper. Spread chia seeds on a plate. Press each tuna fillet into the chia seeds to evenly coat one side. Coat a shallow nonstick or foil-lined baking pan with the canola oil. Place tuna, chia seed sides up, in prepared baking pan. Roast 10 to 12 minutes or until tuna is firm to the touch (centers may still be pink); do not turn tuna over during roasting. Remove tuna from the oven; let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving. To serve, drizzle each plate with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the balsamic glaze (store any remaining glaze in the refrigerator for another use); top with cooked tuna. Spoon salsa over tuna. FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: If fresh mango and/or pineapple is not available, use canned fruit instead. We do not recommend using a sugar substitute for this recipe. The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Better Homes & Gardens | February 2015 MM Format by Dave Drum - 25 February 2015 Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
