How to Make Grilled Swordfish Green Beans And Spicy Tomato Salsa

  1. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  2. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. **Prep the Green Beans:** Trim 1 pound of green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  4. **Prepare the Swordfish:** Pat 2 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. **Grill the Swordfish:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the swordfish for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your steaks.
  6. **Assemble the Dish:** Lightly toss the blanched green beans with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Divide the green beans between two plates. Top with the grilled swordfish steaks.
  7. **Add the Salsa:** Spoon the spicy tomato salsa generously over the swordfish.
  8. **Serve Immediately:** Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired, and enjoy this delicious and satisfying meal!
