Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds (about 6) nectarines, quartered
2 red onions, quartered
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons seeded, minced jalapeno chile
1/4 cup torn fresh mint
6 swordfish steaks (each 1 pound and 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium heat. (If using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 5 to 6 seconds.)
  • Toss nectarines and onions with oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Grill nectarines and onions, turning often, until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve juices in bowl. Transfer nectarines and onions to a cutting board, and let cool slightly.
  • Combine mustard, vinegar, and chile in the reserved bowl. Cut nectarines and onions into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add to bowl. Stir in mint, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly coat both sides of each swordfish steak with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut each fish steak in half, and transfer to a serving platter. Top with nectarine-onion salsa.
