Instructions
Marinating the Fish:
Place the swordfish steaks into a dish and pour a few tablespoons of soy sauce over the top, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For Ginger Garlic Sauce:
Prepare the ginger garlic sauce: combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, oil, ginger and garlic in small saucepan and whisk. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and simmer over low heat for 13 to 15 minutes, until reduced in half.
For Mango Salsa:
For the mango salsa, combine all ingredients necessary for salad (avocados, tomatoes, corn, mango, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, salt). Toss gently, cover and set aside.
Grilling Instructions:
The fish can be prepared 2 different ways: on the grill or in a pan. For grilling, preheat your outdoor grill to 500F. Grease the grates of the grill with oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towels and place onto the grill. Grill approximately 5 to 6 minutes, per side for a 1-inch thick swordfish steak. Grilling time can vary depending on how thick your fish is. For thicker steaks, grill 7 to 8 minutes per side.
Pan Fried Instructions:
For stovetop preparation: preheat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat and add a splash of cooking oil. Fry the swordfish for 5 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick swordfish steak. Cooking time can vary depending on how thick your fish is. For thicker steaks, fry 7 to 8 minutes per side.
Serving the Swordfish:
When ready to serve, spoon a few tablespoons of the prepared ginger garlic sauce over each steak and top with a heaping amount of mango salsa.
