Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup annatto seeds or 1 tablespoon turmeric
8 six-ounce swordfish steaks
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mango and black-bean salsa (see recipe)
Grilled plantains see recipe
16 lime wedges

Steps:

  • In a small heavy pan, heat oil with annatto seeds or turmeric. Bring to a simmer and turn off heat. Allow to steep for 30 minutes.
  • If using annatto seeds, strain and reserve for another use. If using turmeric, it will have settled to the bottom; do not disturb it. Arrange fish in shallow nonreactive pan. Pour oil over fish and turn to coat. (If using turmeric, pour carefully so turmeric stays in the pan.)
  • Refrigerate at least one hour, turning the fish from time to time; for best color, refrigerate overnight.
  • Prepare an outdoor or top-of-the-stove grill for moderate heat. Drain fish and season with pepper. Grill on both sides, following Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest point and cook 10 minutes to the inch. Serve the fish with the salsa and plantains, garnished with lime wedges.
