Swordfish on Black Bean and Pineapple Salsa image

In 1990, when Marian Burros brought this recipe to The Times, salsas were trendy, and as proof, she wrote, "that you don't have to have butter and cream to make something taste wonderful." That is no less true today, even if salsas are much more common in our cooking lives. If you're in a rush, grab some pre-cut pineapple at the market, and a can of black beans. (Drain them well.)

This dish was a disaster. The swordfish was raw and the salsa was inedible. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the salsa was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less chili peppers next time.
