Prepare Salsa prior to frying Ahi. Place Olive Oil in pan over medium heat. Heat pan to 350 F . Sprinkle both sides of Ahi with Willy O's Italian Spice Blend and Salt & Pepper to taste. Carefully place Ahi in pan to avoid splattering. Cook until light browning occurs on edges, approximately 5 minutes. Flip and cook again until light browning occurs.
