MANGO SWORDFISH WITH CITRUS SALSA

While other siblings might spend quality time playing golf or tennis, my younger brother, Johnny and I have our own ritutal. When I visit him and his best friend Thomas we meet at different restaurants around Seattle. We order almost everything on the menu then we pick it apart so we can remake the recipe even better at home. John and Thomas add another layer of flavor to one of our favorites—Mango Swordfish—with a citrusy Cal-Mex salsa that cleanses and heats the palate at the same time. It's genius! These two could certainly be gourmet greats if they wanted to.
