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.
