Char-grilled swordfish steaks with salsa fresca

Ingredients

For the Salsa
For the Sauce

Preparation method

  1. Keep all the prepared salsa ingredients cold, and separate until just before serving, then quickly mix them together in a bowl and divide between 4 plates.

  2. Cut the olive flesh from the stone in strips then cut these strips into thin pine needle sized shards. In a small pan, mix the mayonnaise, cream and warm water with the olive shards then warm through - the sauce should be served warm not hot.

  3. Light the barbecue or heat a ribbed grill pan. Season the swordfish steaks with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side.

  4. Serve with a portion of salsa and some of the sauce spread over the steaks and around the plates.
