Ingredients:
For the Grilled Swordfish:
– 4 swordfish steaks
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mango Salsa:
– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
– 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped (optional, for heat)
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Swordfish: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fish is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
2. Prepare the Mango Salsa: While the fish is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, red chili (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Grill the Swordfish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the swordfish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and opaque all the way through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
4. Serve: Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter and top with the mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Enjoy your delightful grilled swordfish with exotic mango salsa, a perfect dish to tantalize your taste buds with its combination of flavors and textures!
