Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 swordfish steaks, about 1/2in thick
3 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 ripe avocado, halved, stoned, peeled and diced
3 scallions, washed, trimmed and finely chopped
1 lime, juice and finely grated zest
2 tomatoes, washed, deseeded and chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat the broiler to medium or prepare the barbecue. To make the spice rub, roughly crush all the spices together in a pestle and mortar or in a bowl using the end of a rolling pin. Add a little salt if desired. Tip the spice mixture onto a flat plate and turn the swordfish steaks in it to coat each side thoroughly.
Cook under the broiler or on the barbecue for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes and is just cooked and the outside is golden and crisp.
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl, cover and chill until needed. Serve the fish with a spoonful of salsa, a green salad, and lime wedges for squeezing over.
