Grilled Swordfish Skewers with Prosciutto-Wrapped Mango

Here’s another grilled skewers dish that works best on a cast-iron griddle or grill pan over the coals (or other heat source). The marinated swordfish and mango slices may stick to a grill grate and pull apart when turned.

It’s a simple recipe, and the balance of tender pieces of fish, slightly salty prosciutto, and sweet, tropical fruit brings it all together for a flavorful combination.

Preparation

1. Combine the garlic, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of oil, soy sauce, and black pepper in a heavy, sealable plastic bag. Add the swordfish and seal. Turn several times to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Set a cast-iron griddle (or large grill pan) on the grate and let heat 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, wrap the mango slices in strips of prosciutto.
4. Remove the swordfish from the marinade, letting excess drip off (discard marinade). Divide the fish, mango, bell peppers, and onion and thread onto 4 skewers (soaked in water 30 minutes, if wood), alternating pieces on each skewer. Brush with oil and season with salt.
