Mango Lemon Rice with Seared Ahi Tuna

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

I’m excited that spring is finally here after a long winter. I have been having so much fun buying fresh fruits from my local warehouse store now that they are in season. Mangoe are one of my very favorites so when I spied a big box of champagne mangoes I didn’t hesitate. Have you ever tried this variety? When they are really ripe they are super sweet and taste like candy. Last week I used the last of them to create this spring-inspired Mango Lemon Rice and paired it with Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Seared Ahi Tuna with Garlic-Peppercorn Rub. It was delicious!

The flavor of my perfectly ripen mangoes really made this rice special. The slight zing on my taste buds from the mango was fantastic.

I prepared this rice in my rice cooker since I love the results, but you could just as easily make it on the stove.  I used parsley from my mini herb garden but cilantro would also be a great option.

My husband and I love all types of seafood, especially raw varieties. When I found out about Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Seared Ahi Tuna with Garlic-Peppercorn Rub, the first ever sushi quality “thaw and serve” packaged seafood product, I really wanted to try out. I never knew it was possible to find that high of quality except in my favorite Japanese restaurant or the meat department in my local grocery store. I was happy to learn it stays frozen during the processing and is never fully defrosted or re-frozen during preparation. Fish is the perfect pairing with this mango lemon rice!

Bumble Bee SuperFresh® is a complete line of naturally-seasoned, restaurant quality, “fish-forward” prepared seafood solutions for the home. It raises the bar for what seafood lovers can expect from frozen food!
