FISH WITH GRILLED SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Light a grill. (If you are lighting charcoal, use plenty of it.) Season the fish with the cayenne, salt it liberally and return it to the refrigerator. When the grill is hot, cook the tomatillos, jalapeño and onion slices, taking them off the heat when they are soft and charred. Remove the skin and seeds from the jalapeño and roughly purée it with the tomatillos in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a serving bowl. Chop the onion slices and stir them into the salsa verde with the cilantro. Season well with salt.
• When the fire has burned down to a medium heat (if you are using gas, simply turn down the flame), oil the fish and the grate. Grill the fish flesh side down first, turning once, until cooked through. The time will vary depending on the kind of fish and the heat of the fire but should not take more than 10 minutes. Thin the salsa with ¼ cup water until the consistency is more like Thanksgiving gravy than applesauce, and pass the bowl of salsa at the table.

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.
