Ingredients

  • 2 large mangos ripe
  • 1 each avocados halved and pitted
  • 1/2 each jalapeno pepper minced
  • 1/4 cup spanish onions red
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest grated
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice fresh
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fresh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 x salt and black pepper ground
  • 6 each swordfish steaks 6-oz each, 1-inch thick
  • 1 each limes cut into wedges

Method

  • Working with 1 mango at a time, cut off the flesh from each side of the big, flat pit, to form 2 large pieces.
  • Discard the pit.
  • Using a knife, score the flesh lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/2-inch (12 -mm) squares, cutting through to the skin.
  • Then, holding the mango over a bowl, slip the blade between the skin and flesh to cut away the flesh, allowing the cubes to fall into the bowl.
  • Add the avocado, jalapeno, onion, lime zest, lime juice, orange juice, chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Set aside.
  • In 1 or 2 frying pans large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer without crowding, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the swordfish and cook until lightly golden on the first side, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the fish, season to taste with salt and pepper and continue to cook until lightly golden on the second side and opaque throughout when cut with a knife, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Place the swordfish steaks on warmed individual plates and top with the salsa.
  • Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs and serve.
