- 1 1/4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved crosswise
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 4 (8 ounce) steaks swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. Coat the tomato halves with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Grill the tomatoes cut-side up (or broil them cut-side down), until the skins start to blacken, about 10 minutes. Slip off the skins and put the tomatoes in a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl. Add the cucumber, lemon juice, dill, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Stir to break up the tomatoes and to combine the ingredients.
- Coat the swordfish with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill or broil the fish for 4 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Serve with the salsa.
