GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA
Steps:
- Salsa Preparation: Preheat a grill pan. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Place on grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and using a VIVA® paper towel, hold the ear of corn upright in a bowl and cut the kernels from the cob. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips. Margarita Preparation: Pour lime juice, tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and simple syrup into a small ice-filled pitcher. Stir well. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. Habanero Syrup Preparation: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Poke holes in the habanero and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the portable coasters: Cut 3 inches off one non-perforated side of a VIVA® towel; Fold perforated sides towards center of VIVA® towel, creating creases 2 inches from each edge; With VIVA® towel flap-side up, set margarita glass on top, in the center; Bring folded sides of VIVA® towel toward stem of glass to cover the base of the glass. (There will be a thin strip of the base that remains uncovered.); Secure flaps around base with two 1 1/2-inch-pieces of clear tape (optional); To finish, fold remaining flaps under base of glass, and secure with clear tape or sticker.
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CORN SALAD
Swordfish is one of the easiest fish to grill. Because it's firm and thick, it can be cooked over hot coals for a while to pick up their smoky flavor, and it doesn't fall apart when flipped. Serve with anything you'd eat with a steak or pork chop, like a bright and crunchy corn salad. Here, raw corn is mixed with long pieces of chives and cilantro in a move inspired by lao hu cai, or tiger salad, a Dongbei salad of cilantro and scallions, and buchu muchim, or Korean chive salad. When the salad is piled onto the fish, the rice vinegar and sesame oil dressing seasons the fish, and the corn and herbs soften slightly from the heat. The result is all at once fragrant, crunchy, juicy and satisfying.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
- While the grill's heating, pat the fish dry and make the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons neutral oil, sesame oil and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chives and cilantro on top (don't stir them in), and season with salt and pepper.
- When you're ready to grill, pat the fish dry again, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon salt and lightly coat with oil. Take the fish, salad, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, tongs, a fish spatula and a serving platter to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the fish until well browned on one side and it releases easily from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip with a fish spatula and cook until it registers 130 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.)
- Transfer to the platter. Toss the salad to combine, then top the fish right away with the salad, spooning extra dressing over the fish. Let rest for 5 minutes before eating. Season to taste with flaky salt, pepper and sesame oil.

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.
SWORDFISH ON BLACK BEAN AND PINEAPPLE SALSA
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.)

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium hot. Place peppers on grill, and cook, turning, until skin is black all over, 5 to 10 minutes for jalapeno and 10 to 15 minutes for red pepper. Place grilled peppers in a brown paper bag; let stand about 10 minutes. Remove peppers from bag, and peel away and discard charred skin; rinse your fingers from time to time under cool running water, if necessary, but do not rinse the peppers. Remove and discard stems and seeds. Mince jalapeno, and transfer to a large bowl. Cut red pepper into 1/4-inch pieces, add to jalapeno, and set aside.
- Place ears of corn directly on grill. Cook until brown and tender, turning often, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill, and let cool slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob; add to peppers.
- Add lime juice, black beans, parsley, red onion, garlic, olive oil, and cayenne to corn and pepper mixture, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest swordfish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to flavor the fish and make it more tender. You can use a variety of marinades, such as lemon-herb marinade, olive oil and garlic marinade, or a spicy chili marinade.
- Grill the swordfish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will allow it to cook evenly. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the swordfish with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include black bean and corn salsa, roasted vegetables, or grilled pineapple.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make sure that your grilled swordfish is cooked perfectly and is full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give grilled swordfish a try!
