  • Using your BBQ or grill pan cook the swordfish for 2-3 minutes per side (see tips)
  • Allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving

Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • the salsa is best eaten on the day it’s made – store in the fridge if making ahead of time
  • cook the swordfish to 54-58c internal temp and allow to rest
  • swordfish can be difficult to tell when it’s cooked by touch so for a 1” piece aim for close to 3 minutes per side when cooked in a smoking hot pan
  • if cooking on the BBQ (with lid closed) aim to cook it for 2 minutes per side
