This was fabulous! So tender and flavors were fantastic! I only used 1 Serrano pepper in the salsa. Just right amount of heat.

This was tasty. We used 2 habanero peppers and we were sorry we did because HOLY COW! That stuff was painful. I had to have a glass of milk nearby in order to eat it because it was so fiery. If we make it again, we'll use 1 habanero, or possibly just part of one.

Really, really good. Presented well, tasted delicious. We used three small habanero peppers and the salsa was a bit spicy, honestly more than we could bear. I think with one, or one and a half of the habaneros, this recipe would be perfect.

Absolutely my new favourite recipe of the summer! I had bought swordfish cubes to make grilled kebaps and I bought 2 steaks for this recipe to make at the beach. What can I say. It is simply beyond delicious. Healthy and so well-flavoured. The salsa can't be beat.
