Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 pounds tuna or swordfish cut 1 inch thick
Juice of 2 limes
A 1-pound can plum tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
4 scallions, minced
2 fresh or canned chili peppers, seeded and minced (or to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the fish into pieces of equal size, about two inches square. You should have eight to 12 pieces. Remove any skin from the fish. Brush the fish with a tablespoon of the lime juice and allow to marinate to while preparing the salsa.
  • Drain the tomatoes very well, piercing them so the liquid drains from inside, then chop them. Mix with onion, scallions, chili peppers, coriander and salt and pepper to taste. Add one teaspoon of the olive oil. Set aside.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet to very hot. Brush with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Dry the fish, place in the skillet and sear three to four minutes on each side, until the fish is lightly browned and cooked to the desired degree of doneness. These types of fish are best if cooked medium-rare.
  • Top each medallion of fish with a spoonful of the salsa and serve at once.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The fish was cooked perfectly and the salsa was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.

I substituted tilapia for the tuna and it turned out great! The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the salsa was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
