Grilled Swordfish With Black Bean And Corn Salsa Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROAST PEPPER-PAPAYA-CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a very hot charcoal fire.
• Place the red pepper over the fire. Turn every two minutes or so until it is completely blackened on the outside (this should take 6-10 minutes). Immediately place the charred pepper in a paper bag. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove the pepper from the bag and working with your fingers, peel off the blackened skin. Do not at any point wash off the blackened skin (water spoils the texture of the peppers). Cut the pepper open on the side and remove all seeds and all tough membranes clinging to the walls. Cut the pepper into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the red pepper, the corn, the papaya, the minced coriander and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
• Season the swordfish with salt and pepper and place it over a hot fire. Cook, turning once, for 4-5 minutes, or until the swordfish is just cooked through. Brush with the remaining olive oil while cooking. Transfer the fish to dinner plates, top with salsa and fresh coriander leaves.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
• While the grill's heating, pat the fish dry and make the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons neutral oil, sesame oil and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chives and cilantro on top (don't stir them in), and season with salt and pepper.
• When you're ready to grill, pat the fish dry again, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon salt and lightly coat with oil. Take the fish, salad, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, tongs, a fish spatula and a serving platter to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the fish until well browned on one side and it releases easily from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip with a fish spatula and cook until it registers 130 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.)
• Transfer to the platter. Toss the salad to combine, then top the fish right away with the salad, spooning extra dressing over the fish. Let rest for 5 minutes before eating. Season to taste with flaky salt, pepper and sesame oil.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

SWORDFISH ON BLACK BEAN AND PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Wash and dry the fish.
• If broiling, heat broiler and cover broiler pan with aluminum foil. If using a stovetop grill, lightly brush it with oil.
• Drain beans and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
• Combine pineapple, onion, peppers, chili, coriander, cumin and vinegar. Stir in beans.
• Grill or broil the fish for 10 minutes for each inch at the thickest part.
• Just before serving, stir cilantro into the salsa and arrange on serving plates. Place fish on top, then top it with additional salsa.

Steps:

• In shallow glass or plastic dish, mix all swordfish ingredients except the swordfish. Add swordfish; turn to coat with marinade. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours to marinate.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix all salsa ingredients. Let stand at room temperature.
• Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Place fish on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with room-temperature salsa.
