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.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA



Grilled Swordfish With Smoky Tomato-Anchovy Salsa image

This is a simple summer fish dish with robust flavors. Swordfish would be the first choice, for its meatiness and ease of grilling, but any firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, monkfish, corvina or snapper, is a suitable option. Tuna would also work, but for that matter, so would chicken breast, for those at your gathering who don't eat fish. Topped with an easily made salsa of cherry tomatoes, anchovy, hot pepper and smoky pimentón, the whole affair is rather salad-like, best accompanied by arugula or lettuce leaves. Serve with roasted potatoes or garlic toast for a casual picnic-style summer supper.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks, cut ¾-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 small garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1 medium red onion, diced small (about 1 cup)
1 sweet red pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
2 Fresno chiles, seeds removed and finely diced
4 anchovy fillets, chopped, plus 4 whole fillets for garnish
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes in different colors
Pinch of dried oregano
Arugula leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill. (Alternatively, use a cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place swordfish steaks on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil and rub with fingers to coat. Leave at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, put vinegar, smoked paprika, tomato paste and garlic. Stir to dissolve tomato paste. Add onion, sweet pepper, chiles and 4 chopped anchovy fillets, and stir everything together. Add pinch of salt and ½ to ¾ cup olive oil and stir again.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, lightly season with salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the mixture. Leave to marinate about 10 minutes.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side. Remove when you see juices begin to rise on second side.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 8 (4-ounce) medallions
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

MEDALLIONS OF TUNA OR SWORDFISH WITH SALSA



Medallions of Tuna Or Swordfish With Salsa image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 pounds tuna or swordfish cut 1 inch thick
Juice of 2 limes
A 1-pound can plum tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 scallions, minced
2 fresh or canned chili peppers, seeded and minced (or to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the fish into pieces of equal size, about two inches square. You should have eight to 12 pieces. Remove any skin from the fish. Brush the fish with a tablespoon of the lime juice and allow to marinate to while preparing the salsa.
  • Drain the tomatoes very well, piercing them so the liquid drains from inside, then chop them. Mix with onion, scallions, chili peppers, coriander and salt and pepper to taste. Add one teaspoon of the olive oil. Set aside.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet to very hot. Brush with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Dry the fish, place in the skillet and sear three to four minutes on each side, until the fish is lightly browned and cooked to the desired degree of doneness. These types of fish are best if cooked medium-rare.
  • Top each medallion of fish with a spoonful of the salsa and serve at once.

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh herbs, spices, and olive oil.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook seafood. Try different recipes and find the ones that you and your family enjoy the most.

Conclusion:

Seafood is a delicious and healthy addition to any diet. It is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. By following these tips, you can cook seafood that is both delicious and nutritious.
