GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill. (Alternatively, use a cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place swordfish steaks on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil and rub with fingers to coat. Leave at room temperature.
• In a mixing bowl, put vinegar, smoked paprika, tomato paste and garlic. Stir to dissolve tomato paste. Add onion, sweet pepper, chiles and 4 chopped anchovy fillets, and stir everything together. Add pinch of salt and ½ to ¾ cup olive oil and stir again.
• Add cherry tomatoes, lightly season with salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the mixture. Leave to marinate about 10 minutes.
• Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side. Remove when you see juices begin to rise on second side.
• Transfer to plates or a large platter. Stir salsa and spoon generously over fish. Sprinkle with oregano. Garnish with whole anchovy fillets. Surround with a generous amount of arugula and serve.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

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.

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 PAPAYA SALSA

• Pour dressing over fish in shallow glass dish; turn fish over to coat both sides of each steak with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Grill fish 6 to 8 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Serve fish with the papaya mixture.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH KIWI AND TOMATO SALSA

• In a bowl, combine half the oil, lemon juice, and pepper. Season with salt. Add the fish and coat well with the marinade. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
• In another bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, and pepper. Add the chives, tomatoes, and diced kiwi. Season with salt. Set aside.

• To serve, place the salsa in the center of the plates. Top with the fish and serve with rice. Garnish with the kiwi slices.

GRIDDLED SWORDFISH WITH PINEAPPLE & CHILLI SALSA

Steps:

• Trim the swordfish of any fatty layers and cut out any bloodstained flesh or ask your fishmonger to do this for you. Cut into 4 chunky steaks (about 2cm thick). The thickness must be even for a perfect 'cuisson' (a chef's term for 'doneness').
• In a shallow dish, mix 120ml oil, 1 tbsp sesame oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 lightly crushed garlic clove, 2 good pinches of salt and the rosemary. Put the fish steaks into the marinade, cover and chill from 1 hr to a day until ready to cook, turning them once or twice.
• For the salsa, peel and dice the pineapple and put two thirds of the diced flesh into a blender or food processor with 1 tsp salt, the shallot, 2 tbsp olive oil and the remaining sesame oil. Whizz until smooth.
• Slit the chillies open and remove seeds. Chop the flesh. Peel the lemongrass; cut the stalk into strips then dice. Place the chillies, lemongrass, 1 garlic clove and lime juice into a large mortar. Roughly crush, then work the onions and ginger in to form a paste.
• Finely chop the coriander leaves and shred the basil leaves. Add to the chilli mixture, then mix with the pineapple purée and the extra pineapple dice. Put in a bowl and pour over the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Cover and chill for up to a day.
• To cook the swordfish, heat a grill or griddle pan until really hot. Drain the steaks from the marinade and place on the griddle. Watch the flesh change from translucent to pale cream - the 'cuisson' - 1 min. Turn the steaks and cook for 1 more min - no more! To serve, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber pappardelle and roasted lettuce on plates. Drizzle over the salsa and top with the swordfish.

SWORDFISH WITH KIWI SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together kiwi, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, salt and cilantro. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together cumin and black pepper. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler.
• Brush oil on both sides of swordfish steaks and sprinkle each side with the cumin mixture. Place fish on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes. Turn and broil until opaque in the center, another 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place swordfish steaks on 4 plates and top each with kiwi salsa.
