Ingredients
For the Swordfish:
4 swordfish steaks (6–8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
For the Mango Salsa:
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Swordfish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Grill the Swordfish: Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and let the flavors meld for at least 10 minutes.
4. Serve: Plate the grilled swordfish steaks and top with the mango salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Success Tips: Make sure the grill is well-oiled to prevent the swordfish from sticking.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a side of jasmine rice, quinoa, or a light green salad.
