Grilled Jerk Swordfish Caribbean With Pineapple Rice Recipes

GRILLED JERK SWORDFISH CARIBBEAN WITH PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush both sides with marinade and lay on a plate (or on a broiler rack or baking sheet if broiling); set aside.
• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler.
• Add enough chicken broth to the reserved pineapple juice to measure 2 cups.
• Stir the broth mixture, pineapple, rice, bell pepper and allspice together in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Take from the heat and let stand until ready to serve; discard the allspice berries.
• When the rice has cooked 12 to 15 minutes, place fish on a lightly oiled grill and cook 3 minutes.
• Turn over and cook until the fish is just barely opaque but still moist in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more for 3/4-inch-thicksteaks (or broil, without turning, for 6 to 8 minutes).
• Fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the green onions and spoon onto individual plates.
• Transfer the swordfish to plates and garnish with lime wedges.

JERK SWORDFISH SERVED WITH MANGO FILETS AND PINEAPPLE AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• To prepare the swordfish, remove the skin and trim away any blemishes from the swordfish. Cut it into 2 even portions. Garnish each portion by pressing a sprig of cilantro into the meat. Generously rub the fish in the jerk mixture. Lightly oil a hot griddle or medium saute pan. Cook the fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Peel the mango, and using the seed to guide you, slice off the meat on both sides. Slice each 1/2 into 3 fillets, lengthwise. Sear the mango on the griddle or pan, alongside the swordfish.
• In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeno, orange juice, and lime juice. Mix all ingredients together, and season with salt, to taste.
• To plate, place the beans in the center of the plate. Arrange the mango fillets and the swordfish neatly on top. Garnish the fish with the pineapple salsa and a sprig of cilantro.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the ends of the beans and slice the beans in half on the bias. Blanch the beans in the boiling water for a couple minutes. When tender, shock the beans in iced water to stop them from cooking further. Reserve the boiling water. Place the butter, chipotle, garlic cloves, and salt in a medium stainless steel bowl over the boiling water. Allow the butter to melt. Pour contents into a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth. Refrigerate.
• To plate the beans, heat 1 tablespoon of the chipotle butter in a saute pan on medium heat. Add the beans and toss in the butter. Cook until the beans are hot and the butter is slightly browned.
