Grilled Monkfish With Fresh Salsa Recipes

GRILLED MONKFISH WITH FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the tomatoes, shallots, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside to let the flavors come together.
• Remove the dark membrane from the monk fish using a sharp knife. Place the fish in a glass dish and pour a splash of olive oil turning fish to coat.
• In a small bowl mix together cumin, chili powder, paprika and salt. Sprinkle over both sides of the fish and rub. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Grill fish over medium-high heat, 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn only once. Let the fish rest for 5 minutes, top with salsa and serve.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

GRILLED CITRUS CHICKEN WITH FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• For the chicken: Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl.
• Add the chicken to the mixture and coat evenly.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade to protect against cross-contamination.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken on the grill or under the broiler and cook until the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
• In the meantime, peel, core and chop the avocado.
• Place the avocado in a clean bowl and toss it with the lime juice quickly so that it doesn't discolor.
• Add the tomatoes, onion and cilantro.
• Add the jalapeño peppers and salt to taste.
• Serve the salsa on top of the chicken with the warm tortillas on the side.
