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.
    • Easy to prepare, this dish looks great and has a fresh tropical flavor.
