I love this recipe, because the Mango gives it the sweet flavors of the Caribbean while the chili pepper gives it a subtle heat. The lemongrass ties both flavors together for the swordfish. —Isabelle

I like this salad...the salsa is great on a lot of different kinds of fish.

This is a delicious dish and it's so easy to make! It can be served on hot summer days with sides of salads and fruits or in the colder winter days with rice and steamed vegetables! It's always a hit, because it has a little of something for everyone. Hint: you can give this an Asian flair by skipping the cilantro and adding an 1/8 tsp of fish sauce to the salsa!
