The Ginger Garlic Glaze

I absolutely LOVE the ginger garlic glaze I use for this swordfish recipe! It’s one of my go-to sauces and I even use it for lamb! This glaze is made with brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seed oils and lots of ginger and garlic! Just mix everything together in a small pot and let the sauce cook. I recommend cooking the sauce over medium heat until it’s thickened and reduced.

The Avocado Mango Salsa

This refreshing salsa really elevates this seafood recipe to whole new level! You’ll love the zesty lime and cilantro, paired with creamy avocado and fruity mango! You can also add corn to mix or even make it with peaches or nectarines instead of mango. This salsa is best when it’s fresh. If you want to make it ahead of time, simply keep the lime juice off until ready to enjoy!

Ingredients

4 large swordfish steaks or salmon fillets, skin removed
2 to 3 tbsp soy sauce; for marinating
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame seed oil
5 to 6 finely minced garlic cloves
1-inch ginger root, grated or finely minced
For Mango Salsa:
2 large, ripe avocados, diced
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 cup corn, fresh or canned
1/2 cup ripe mango, diced
3 green scallions or 1 shallot, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
salt to taste

Instructions

If you have the time, portion the swordfish (or salmon) and pour a few tablespoons of soy sauce over the fish, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Prepare the ginger garlic sauce: combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, oil, ginger and garlic in small saucepan and whisk. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and simmer over low heat for 13 to 15 minutes, until reduced in half.
For the mango salsa, combine all ingredients necessary for salad (avocados, tomatoes, corn, mango, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, salt). Toss gently, cover and set aside.
The fish can be prepared 2 different ways: on the grill or in a pan. For grilling, preheat your outdoor grill to 500F. Grease the grates of the grill with oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towels and place onto the grill. Grill approximately 5 to 6 minutes, per side for a 1-inch thick swordfish steak. Grilling time can vary depending on how thick your fish is. For thicker steaks, grill 7 to 8 minutes per side.
For stovetop preparation: preheat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat and add a splash of cooking oil. Fry the swordfish for 5 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick swordfish steak. Cooking time can vary depending on how thick your fish is. For thicker steaks, fry 7 to 8 minutes per side.
When ready to serve, spoon a few tablespoons of the prepared ginger garlic sauce over each steak and top with a heaping amount of mango salsa.
