4	swordfish steaks, 1 inch thick (about 1-1/2 pounds)*
1	cup baby carrots, cut lengthwise into halves
2	green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
3	tablespoons lime juice
1/2	teaspoon salt, divided

1	can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
2	tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1	tablespoon margarine or butter

*Tuna or halibut steaks can be substituted.

PREPARATION:

Place fish and carrots in saucepan just large enough to hold them in single layer. Add onions, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and chili powder. Add enough water to just cover fish.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 8 minutes or until center of fish begins to flake when tested with fork. Transfer to serving plates with spatula.
Meanwhile, to prepare salsa, combine tomatoes, corn, chilies, cilantro and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl; toss well.
Drain carrots; add margarine. Transfer to serving plates; serve with salsa.

Tip

If time allows, prepare the salsa in advance so the flavors have more time to develop. Do not add salt until ready to serve. Cover and refrigerate salsa up to 1 day before serving.
