Swordfish (Or Halibut) With A Cumin Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 swordfish steaks, about 1/2in thick
    3 teaspoons cumin seeds
    For the salsa
    1 ripe avocado, halved, stoned, peeled and diced
    3 scallions, washed, trimmed and finely chopped
    1 lime, juice and finely grated zest
    2 tomatoes, washed, deseeded and chopped
    For the spice rub
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation
    Preheat the broiler to medium or prepare the barbecue. To make the spice rub, roughly crush all the spices together in a pestle and mortar or in a bowl using the end of a rolling pin. Add a little salt if desired. Tip the spice mixture onto a flat plate and turn the swordfish steaks in it to coat each side thoroughly.
    Cook under the broiler or on the barbecue for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes and is just cooked and the outside is golden and crisp.
    Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl, cover and chill until needed. Serve the fish with a spoonful of salsa, a green salad, and lime wedges for squeezing over.
