PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA & MANGO SALSA



Pineapple, Papaya & Mango Salsa image

Obviously sweet because of the fruit but a slight hint of heat because of the pepper. We love this on grilled ahi, steamed uhu or aweoweo. I worked out this recipe after several failed attempts. We are blessed to live in Hawaii where fresh-off-the-tree fruit and great pineapples are easy to find, but try it anyway. As a variation, skip the pineapple and use chopped, seeded cucumber. Enjoy!

Provided by KauaiCarolAnn

Quick Grilled Swordfish With Papaya Salsa image

This is an easy fish dinner that can be on your table in 30 minutes. Follow the instructions below to make the best use of your time, and then enjoy the great flavors!

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.

PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA, MANGO SALSA OVER JASMINE RICE



Pineapple, Papaya, Mango Salsa over Jasmine Rice image

This is great served with any seafood dish and especially with my Recipe #407262. I happen to like jasmine rice, but any rice that you like will work for this. It is also excellent with Mexican or spicy dishes or even just topped on some grilled chicken. It is so versatile.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Rice

Time 50m

Yield 6 1 1/2 cup servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 -8 cups jasmine rice (cooked)
1 1/2 cups pineapple, diced (now I love to use fresh, but canned pineapple will work just fine, no syrup, just natural juices)
3/4 cup fresh papaya, diced fine
3/4 cup fresh mango, diced fine
1/2 cup red onion, diced fine
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced fine
1 small jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed and diced fine (add more if you like, I like a bit more, but add according to your taste)
2 scallions, fine chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (more if you want to taste)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped fine
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Rice -- There are so many different kinds of rice. So I won't tell you what kind to or not to buy. I prefer a Jasmine rice, but depending on what brand you buy, just cook according to directions. Serve 1/2 cup salsa over 1 cup per rice per person. And since I have approximately 3 cups of salsa, you will need 6 cups of rice. But feel free to make what you like best.
  • Salsa -- Just mix everything all together - it is that simple. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes covered well with plastic wrap.
  • Serve -- I like to serve individual servings, but you can easily just serve this family style in one large bowl. Just ENJOY! It is just really really good.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papayas: Look for papayas with a deep yellow or orange hue. They should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even cuts and prevent the papaya from becoming bruised.
  • Remove the papaya seeds: Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the papaya seeds from the center of the fruit.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your salsa. Some popular additions include tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and lime juice.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: If you like your salsa spicy, add more jalapeños or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, reduce the amount of spicy ingredients.

Conclusion:

Papaya salsa is a refreshing and flavorful condiment that can be used to add a tropical twist to your favorite dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, or simply served with chips. With its bright colors and unique flavor, papaya salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So, next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy papaya, give this salsa recipe a try!
