Grilled Swordfish with Garlic Prawns and Tomato Salsa

Yields: 2

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 swordfish steaks (about 200g each)
  • 200g raw king prawns, peeled
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 red pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper and smoked paprika
  • 1/2 iceberg lettuce, roughly chopped
  • 1 yellow pepper, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • Fresh parsley to finish

Directions

  • Make the salsa by combining diced tomatoes, red pepper, red onion and capers. Season well, add a squeeze of lemon and a splash of olive oil. Set aside to let the flavours meld.
  • Season the swordfish steaks generously with salt, pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika on both sides.
  • Heat a griddle pan or BBQ to high. Brush the fish with olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through with good char marks. Do not move the fish while it is searing.
  • While the fish rests, heat a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the prawns. Season and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through.
  • Toss the chopped lettuce and mixed peppers with a little olive oil and lemon juice for the side salad.
  • Plate the swordfish, top with the garlic prawns, spoon the tomato salsa generously over both, and serve the chopped salad alongside.
