Ingredients

For swordfish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing pan
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (1-inch-thick) swordfish steak (6 ounces)
For salsa
1 lime
1 (1/4-pound) Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion greens
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Steps:

Marinate swordfish:
Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
Grill swordfish:
Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
1 cup cucumber, skin on, finely chopped
1 small serrano pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup basil leaves, torn into pieces
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Allow to sit 30-60 minutes before serving, to let the flavors meld and marry. Serve with tortilla chips or pita chips. If you want to make this ahead, combine everything except the salt and lime juice and add those before serving - otherwise the strawberries and cucumbers will break down too much.
