Directions
Swordfish - 15 minute preparation
  • Cut whole steak into 4 pieces, approximately 1/2 pound each,
    or buy individual steaks.
  • If grilling in a pan, preheat pan for 2 minutes. If grilling on
    open grate, preheat the grill on medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Brush/coat pan or grill surface
    with cooking oil or cooking spray.
  • Place swordfish steaks on cooking surface and grill for
    approximately 4 to 7 minutes on each side or until steaks are firm to the touch, but still moist,
    tender, and slightly opaque on the inside at the thickest point.
  • Since temperatures vary for
    ovens and open grills, check the fish for doneness being careful not to overcook swordfish in order
    to achieve the best flavor.
    Melon Salsa - 30 minute preparation--prepare ahead of time. 
  • Slice the cantaloupe, honeydew
    and mango, removing the fruit so it can be diced into 1/4 inch cubes. Chop the green pepper, red
    pepper, and red onion into fine pieces. If chilies are not diced or seeded, remove the seeds and
    cut into fine pieces. Chop fresh cilantro and garlic into small pieces, or if desired, mince the
    garlic instead. Place those ingredients in a small mixing bowl and toss well.
  • In a
    separate bowl, squeeze 3 tablespoons from one lime and mix with vinegar, oil, and ground cumin. Pour
    contents into the fruit mixture, mixing all together.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours
    to allow flavors to combine.
  • Serve salsa on top of the grilled swordfish.
