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.)

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The swordfish is mild and flaky, while the salsa is sweet, tangy, and spicy. It's a perfect balance.

The swordfish was a bit dry, but the salsa was amazing! I would definitely make the salsa again, but I would try a different fish next time.
