Number Of Ingredients 20

The Sauce
2 mangoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 jalapeƱo pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of black pepper
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk (see note)
3 tablespoons Mutha Sauce (page 165)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon finely diced red bell pepper
Juice of 1/4 lime
Tabasco sauce
The Fish
1 whole loin of swordfish (2 3/4 pounds)
Olive oil
Creole Seasoning (page 167)
The Garnish
10 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Start with the sauce. Slice off the 2 ends of each mango. Stand them up on a cut end, and cut down close to the skin to peel it away. Slice the flesh away from the fibrous pit, and then dice the flesh. Toss the butter into a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Stir in the jalapeƱos and ginger with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, til soft. Add the mango and cook for 5 minutes more. Pour in the orange juice, coconut milk, and Mutha Sauce, and toss in 1 teaspoon salt. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-high and simmer 15 minutes, til reduced by half. Keep warm. Just before serving, stir in the orange zest, peppers, lime juice, and Tabasco.
  • Wash the basil leaves, dry them, and stack them. Roll the leaves tightly like a good cigar, and cut across the roll into thin ribbons. Set aside.
  • Fire up the grill. Cut the skin from the swordfish, and cut the fish in half lengthwise along the grain. Flip each half onto its side and cut into 1/2-inch-thick steaks across the grain. Rub the steaks down with oil and season with a sprinkling of Creole Seasoning on both sides.
  • Clean the grill rack and oil it. Spread out a nice hot coal bed. Position the rack and throw the steaks onto it, directly over the coals. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip. Cook for another 1 to 3 minutes or so, til done but not overcooked. These babies should be succulent. Arrange the steaks on a platter and spoon on the sauce. Dress them up with a sprinkling of basil.
