Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Gently roll the plantains back and forth across the table to soften before grilling. Peel and slice the plantains into long, bias-cut slices ¼-inch thick. Season on one side with pepper, cinnamon and with salt, if desired.

  2. Step 2

    Grill plantains before grilling the swordfish or, if there is enough room, grill plantains and fish simultaneously, cooking plantains a couple of minutes at the most on each side. Plantains do not have to be hot.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange on the plate with swordfish and salsa.

Tip
  • Step one may be done a day ahead
