Mango Salsa on Grilled Swordfish
Description
This recipe prepares a fresh mango salsa by mixing diced mango with red onion, green onions, cilantro, red and yellow bell peppers, and finely chopped jalapeño pepper. The salsa is dressed with a mixture of lemon juice, vegetable oil, ground cumin, salt, and fresh cracked black pepper, then marinated for 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
The swordfish steaks are seasoned with salt and pepper, then grilled on high heat to create grill marks and a slightly smoky outer crust, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes per side to keep the fish tender and moist without drying it out. The bright, fruity salsa serves to complement the meaty texture and flavor of the grilled swordfish.
Serve the swordfish topped with chilled mango salsa for a balanced combination of smoky fish and fresh, tangy tropical relish, suitable as a main course for a light and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Mango
- 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper fresh cracked
- pinch cumin powder
- 4 green onions
- 1 jalapeño
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 1/4 cup cilantro fresh
Instructions
Mango Salsa
- In a bowl whisk together the lemon juice, oil, pinch of cumin powder, kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
- Add the the cubes of mango and toss to coat and marinate.
- Dice the half of a red onion, chop the green onions, cilantro and bell peppers and place in the bowl of mango.
- Using latex or rubber gloves slice the stem off the jalapeno pepper and remove the seed and white membrane, discard. Dice the pepper fine and add to the bowl.
- Toss to coat and allow to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
To Grill Swordfish
- Preheat grill to 500°F. Salt and pepper your swordfish and grill.
- Place swordfish on a cleaned grill and drop heat to 400°F. I like to get grill marks on mine and 2-3 minutes per side should do it for a tender, cooked through swordfish. You don't want to overcook or it will be dry. We want a moist evenly cooked fish.
