Liven up standard grilled fish with a bright bell pepper chow-chow that packs big flavor. Fresh cilantro, corn and diced jalapeños add unmistakably vibrant taste to this flaky fish recipe.
Recipe yields 4 servings
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the garlic, lime juice, mint, cilantro, honey, lime zest, cumin, 1/4 tsp of the salt and black pepper to taste. Add the fish; turn and rub to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mini bell peppers, shallot, corn and jalapeño pepper. Add the remaining 1/8 tsp salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add the tomatillos. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the water and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking the vegetables up with the back of a spoon, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside.
Preheat the grill. Grill swordfish steaks, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inch from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve topped with chow-chow.
