Grilled tuna with salsa and seafood salad

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients for the spice rub together and rub into the tuna and prawns. Leave in a cool place until ready to cook.

2. Place all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce together in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cook for 1 hour.

3. Leave the mixture to cool slightly and transfer to an electric liquidiser. Process until smooth.

4. Combine all the ingredients for the star fruit salsa together in a large bowl and chill until ready to serve.

5. Combine all the ingredients for the crab, prawn and potato salad together in a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

6. Blanch the potatoes in salted boiling water until soft, a bit more than a normal potato salad so they will blend well with the seafood. Strain and cool to room temperature. Add all remaining ingredients, season to taste.

7. Preheat a grill, or barbecue and cook the prawns for 3-4 minutes, until cooked.

8. Grill or barbecue the tuna for 1 minute on each side.

9. Serve the fish straight from the grill, with the barbecue sauce, star fruit salsa and potato salad.
