Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heirloom tomatoes, small dice
1 jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed if you'd like less heat)
1 small red onion, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 swordfish steaks, skin and bloodline removed

Steps:

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ear corn, shucked
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into large wedges
2 limes, peeled, segmented and diced plus juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup small diced red onion
1/2 habanero chile, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced, plus extra leaves for garnish
1 avocado, small diced
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Four 6-ounce swordfish steaks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high.
  • Grill the corn, rotating occasionally, until charred, about 10 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cob. Meanwhile, grill the mangoes on each side until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Place the mangoes on a cutting board and let cool slightly, then rough chop and combine in a bowl with the corn, limes, lime juice, red onion, habanero, cilantro, avocado and salt.
  • Combine the ancho chile powder, coriander and salt in a bowl. Brush the fish on both sides with the olive oil. Sprinkle the swordfish with the spice rub. Grill the swordfish until the outside is nicely charred and the interior is cooked through, about 4 minutes a side, depending on the thickness.
  • Place the swordfish on plates, then season with salt and pepper and divide the salsa among them. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and some additional cilantro.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROAST PEPPER-PAPAYA-CORN SALSA



Grilled Swordfish with Roast Pepper-Papaya-Corn Salsa image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 8-ounce swordfish steaks, cut 1-thick
1 large red bell pepper
1/4 cup cooked fresh corn kernels (from 1 small ear)
1/4 cup finely diced papaya
1/4 cup minced fresh coriander, plus whole leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a very hot charcoal fire.
  • Place the red pepper over the fire. Turn every two minutes or so until it is completely blackened on the outside (this should take 6-10 minutes). Immediately place the charred pepper in a paper bag. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the pepper from the bag and working with your fingers, peel off the blackened skin. Do not at any point wash off the blackened skin (water spoils the texture of the peppers). Cut the pepper open on the side and remove all seeds and all tough membranes clinging to the walls. Cut the pepper into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the red pepper, the corn, the papaya, the minced coriander and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
  • Season the swordfish with salt and pepper and place it over a hot fire. Cook, turning once, for 4-5 minutes, or until the swordfish is just cooked through. Brush with the remaining olive oil while cooking. Transfer the fish to dinner plates, top with salsa and fresh coriander leaves.

Provided by CookinDiva

Categories     Spring

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 swordfish steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fish seasoning (if you don't have a pre-mixed fish seasoning, mix paprika, cayenne, sugar and black pepper)
2 cups fresh papayas, small dice
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, small dice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 lime, zest of
2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, minced
1/2 cup cucumber, small dice (optional)
1/4 cup red onion, small dice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill (allow 10 minutes for gas grill).
  • While grill is heating, prepare fish and make salsa.
  • Prepare fish fillets: brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and seasoning mix.
  • Prepare salsa: mix together all ingredients, taking care to keep everything very small. If desired, you can add diced cucumber or red onion, according to your taste preferences. Set salsa aside.
  • Prepare heated grill for fish (we use a non-stick spray made for grills to prevent sticking).
  • Grill fish 4-5 minutes on each side. When cooking swordfish, don't overcook or it will be dry. Don't wait until it "flakes apart" like other fish - when swordfish is perfectly cooked, there will still be some resistance when you try to cut it apart.
  • Serve swordfish with salsa and a wedge of lime.

Yield Makes 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For swordfish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing pan
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (1-inch-thick) swordfish steak (6 ounces)
For salsa
1 lime
1 (1/4-pound) Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)

1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion greens
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Steps:

  • Marinate swordfish:
  • Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
  • Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
  • Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grill swordfish:
  • Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest swordfish available. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
  • Grill the swordfish over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the swordfish with papaya salsa. The salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the grilled fish.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish with papaya salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The swordfish is grilled to perfection and the papaya salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the fish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
