• Set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Place fish on rack in broiler pan.
• Broil fish with tops about 4 inches from heat about 16 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade after 8 minutes, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve fish with salsa.

QUICK GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH PAPAYA SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat grill (allow 10 minutes for gas grill).
• While grill is heating, prepare fish and make salsa.
• Prepare fish fillets: brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and seasoning mix.
• Prepare salsa: mix together all ingredients, taking care to keep everything very small. If desired, you can add diced cucumber or red onion, according to your taste preferences. Set salsa aside.
• Prepare heated grill for fish (we use a non-stick spray made for grills to prevent sticking).
• Grill fish 4-5 minutes on each side. When cooking swordfish, don't overcook or it will be dry. Don't wait until it "flakes apart" like other fish - when swordfish is perfectly cooked, there will still be some resistance when you try to cut it apart.
• Serve swordfish with salsa and a wedge of lime.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH A GRILLED MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Grill the corn, rotating occasionally, until charred, about 10 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cob. Meanwhile, grill the mangoes on each side until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Place the mangoes on a cutting board and let cool slightly, then rough chop and combine in a bowl with the corn, limes, lime juice, red onion, habanero, cilantro, avocado and salt.
• Combine the ancho chile powder, coriander and salt in a bowl. Brush the fish on both sides with the olive oil. Sprinkle the swordfish with the spice rub. Grill the swordfish until the outside is nicely charred and the interior is cooked through, about 4 minutes a side, depending on the thickness.
• Place the swordfish on plates, then season with salt and pepper and divide the salsa among them. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and some additional cilantro.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROAST PEPPER-PAPAYA-CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a very hot charcoal fire.
• Place the red pepper over the fire. Turn every two minutes or so until it is completely blackened on the outside (this should take 6-10 minutes). Immediately place the charred pepper in a paper bag. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove the pepper from the bag and working with your fingers, peel off the blackened skin. Do not at any point wash off the blackened skin (water spoils the texture of the peppers). Cut the pepper open on the side and remove all seeds and all tough membranes clinging to the walls. Cut the pepper into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the red pepper, the corn, the papaya, the minced coriander and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
• Season the swordfish with salt and pepper and place it over a hot fire. Cook, turning once, for 4-5 minutes, or until the swordfish is just cooked through. Brush with the remaining olive oil while cooking. Transfer the fish to dinner plates, top with salsa and fresh coriander leaves.
