This is a Caribbean island version of sweet and sour, and a very nice dish for a hot summer night. The contrasting flavors of the salad and the fish go off like fireworks in your mouth.

This recipe is absolutely fabulous! Just a few suggestions.. We used A LOT less olive oil for the dressing to take the calories down. Next time I make this I will omit the kumquats and just squeeze some fresh orange juice over the spinach instead. The kumquats did give it a nice hint of sweetness but it was a lot of work to peel and cut them. The second night we had this for leftovers I cut up the swordfish and mangoes and tossed everything together and it was much tastier (and I didn't think it could get tastier!). I liked having all of the flavors mixing together. My husband and I couldn't stop talking about how yummy this was. We will make it again and again. I highly recommend it!! Read More

This recipe was great! I cooked this the other day for my dad and fiancee and they loved it too. One thing I did change was I just used my own bought raspberry vinaigrette dressing and we loved it! The only other thing I MIGHT change would be to marinade the swordfish overnight or a few hours before hand. I will have to figure out what type of marinade to use to mesh with the mango spinach and vinaigrette dressing. I was thinking soy sauce based Read More
