ingredients
- 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)
-
Papaya Salsa
- 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)
directions
- 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.
