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 SALSA VERDE



Grilled Swordfish with Salsa Verde image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Grated zest of 3 lemons, plus 2 halved lemons
10 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups olive oil, plus more for the grill
1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon Ottoman spice or Aleppo pepper
8 1-inch-thick swordfish fillets (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/2 small red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 small jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt
2 avocados, pitted and quartered (skin on)
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon zest, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, the thyme and Ottoman spice in a bowl; mix well. Divide the marinade between two 1-gallon zip-top bags, then divide the swordfish between the bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the red onion and jalapeno until marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the red onion to a bowl, top with the vinegar and cover with plastic wrap, trapping the steam inside to finish the cooking process. Peel, seed and chop the jalapeno.
  • Make the salsa verde: Combine the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, mint, lime juice and remaining 1 cup olive oil in a bowl. Once cool enough to touch, remove the onion from the vinegar and coarsely chop, then add both the vinegar and the onion to the salsa verde; season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and combine well.
  • Remove the swordfish from the marinade, shake off the excess and season with kosher salt. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Grill the swordfish 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and grill 2 more minutes to create crosshatch grill marks, then flip and grill until just opaque, about 2 more minutes. Increase the grill heat to high. Grill the halved lemons and the avocados cut-side down until marked, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dress the watercress with some of the salsa verde on a platter. Top with the swordfish, avocado and more salsa. Garnish with the grilled lemons. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick. Thinner steaks will overcook quickly and become dry, while thicker steaks may not cook evenly.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to flavor the fish and keep it moist.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the grilled swordfish with papaya salsa and a side of rice or vegetables. The papaya salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the grilled fish.
  • For the papaya salsa, use ripe papaya that is firm but not too soft. The papaya should be peeled and seeded before chopping it into small pieces.
  • Add other ingredients to the papaya salsa, such as red onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and lime juice, to taste. The salsa should be tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy.

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 please everyone at your table.
