GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH MANGO SALSA
If you find yourself with a few fresh swordfish steaks, this recipe for Grilled Swordfish with Mango Salsa is the best way to prepare it.
In this recipe, you’ll be combining a few fresh ingredients to make a delicious mango salsa. Then, you’ll prepare some wild rice and add in sauteed, chopped vegetables to create a vegetable- rice mixture. The swordfish and pineapple are grilled, then served on top of the rice. There are so many great flavors going on in this dish!
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY FRESH SWORDFISH?
Unless you live near the ocean, it might be a little tricky to find good, fresh swordfish. Be sure to check any good seafood markets in your town, and some grocery stores have access to nice seafood too. If you can locate “fresh” swordfish, that’s going to be a nice piece of fish. The more likely scenario is that you’ll find “fresh frozen,” and you’ll find it defrosted at the seafood counter. The quality of frozen swordfish can be good, but make sure that the reddish areas are red, not brown. You can also substitute other meaty fish for this recipe- such as tuna, halibut, or mahi-mahi.
HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN GRILLED SWORDFISH IS DONE?
Here’s how to tell if swordfish is done: poke the tines of a fork into the thickest portion of the fish at a 45-degree angle. Then gently twist the fork and pull up some of the fish. Undercooked fish resists flaking and is translucent. If your fish is undercooked, just continue grilling it until it is done.
You can certainly skip the wild rice portion of this recipe and just prepare the swordfish with the mango salsa. I do love the wild rice element, but it’s delicious without it too.
