Grilled Tuna with Strawberry Mango Salsa

Snow flurries and frigid cold temperatures don't have to preclude you from enjoying grilled tuna steaks.  This recipe can be prepared in a grill pan on the stove.  Make sure you watch the tuna so it doesn't over cook.  It can go from raw to rubber in just a few seconds. 

The strawberry mango salsa is fresh and zesty.  But it may be a bit too much for baby.  Mix some strawberry salsa with cooked quinoa and peach yogurt for a fruity finger food.  A great way to introduce more complicated flavors.
