Preparation

Salsa: In small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saut?orn until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl; let cool. Add mango, tomato, onion, coriander, lime juice, jalape?epper, salt and pepper; mix well. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours; drain before using.)

Cut wonton wrappers into quarters. Place on baking sheet; brush both sides with oil. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Let cool on rack.

Tuna: Cut tuna lengthwise into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) square logs; place in shallow dish. Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and pepper; pour over tuna. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once.

In cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat; sear tuna all over until golden brown yet still cold and rare inside, about 2 minutes. Remove to plate. Slice into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick squares.

Top each wonton square with tuna slice and 1 tsp (5 mL) salsa. Garnish with coriander leaf.
