This plate is like summer on a plate. The fresh salsa is best prepared when all the component are in season and ripe so you get the best flavors. Leaving the flavors to meld overnight heightens the flavors. The swordfish basted with brown butter and lightly blowtorched gives you the flavor of a well basted fish without the risk of over cooking it.
