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.

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 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.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA



Grilled Swordfish With Smoky Tomato-Anchovy Salsa image

This is a simple summer fish dish with robust flavors. Swordfish would be the first choice, for its meatiness and ease of grilling, but any firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, monkfish, corvina or snapper, is a suitable option. Tuna would also work, but for that matter, so would chicken breast, for those at your gathering who don't eat fish. Topped with an easily made salsa of cherry tomatoes, anchovy, hot pepper and smoky pimentón, the whole affair is rather salad-like, best accompanied by arugula or lettuce leaves. Serve with roasted potatoes or garlic toast for a casual picnic-style summer supper.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks, cut ¾-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 small garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1 medium red onion, diced small (about 1 cup)
1 sweet red pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
2 Fresno chiles, seeds removed and finely diced
4 anchovy fillets, chopped, plus 4 whole fillets for garnish
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes in different colors
Pinch of dried oregano
Arugula leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill. (Alternatively, use a cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place swordfish steaks on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil and rub with fingers to coat. Leave at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, put vinegar, smoked paprika, tomato paste and garlic. Stir to dissolve tomato paste. Add onion, sweet pepper, chiles and 4 chopped anchovy fillets, and stir everything together. Add pinch of salt and ½ to ¾ cup olive oil and stir again.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, lightly season with salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the mixture. Leave to marinate about 10 minutes.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side. Remove when you see juices begin to rise on second side.
  • Transfer to plates or a large platter. Stir salsa and spoon generously over fish. Sprinkle with oregano. Garnish with whole anchovy fillets. Surround with a generous amount of arugula and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh swordfish: Look for firm, bright-colored flesh that doesn't have a strong odor.
  • Marinate the swordfish: This helps to add flavor and moisture to the fish. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Grill the swordfish over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Make the papaya salsa ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can also use other types of fruit salsa, such as mango or pineapple salsa.
  • Serve the swordfish with the papaya salsa and your favorite sides: Grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes are all good options.

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 adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the fish perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
