Best Medallions Of Tuna Or Swordfish With Salsa Recipes

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.

TUNA/SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH THAI DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat an oiled pan, add fish and cook 3-4 minutes a side, or until cooked as desired. Tuna steaks are better pink in the middle and not overcooked, as they tend to become dry and quite tough.
• Combine all the other ingredients in a jar and shake until mixed.
• Note. you can adjust sweet chili and lime juice amounts e.g. more or less of each depending on your taste.
• To serve place fish on plate drizzle with sauce and serve with salad greens on the side.

MEDALLIONS OF TUNA OR SWORDFISH WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Trim the fish into pieces of equal size, about two inches square. You should have eight to 12 pieces. Remove any skin from the fish. Brush the fish with a tablespoon of the lime juice and allow to marinate to while preparing the salsa.
• Drain the tomatoes very well, piercing them so the liquid drains from inside, then chop them. Mix with onion, scallions, chili peppers, coriander and salt and pepper to taste. Add one teaspoon of the olive oil. Set aside.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet to very hot. Brush with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Dry the fish, place in the skillet and sear three to four minutes on each side, until the fish is lightly browned and cooked to the desired degree of doneness. These types of fish are best if cooked medium-rare.
• Top each medallion of fish with a spoonful of the salsa and serve at once.
