These steaks are great on their own! But even better with the compound butter. Note: Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the steak, and how you like it cooked. Helpful hint: Go to www.omahasteaks.com, on the bottom of the page click on resources and cooking charts, then steaks. Other uses for compound butter: add to baked potato or mashed potatoes; spread on crusty bread; shrimp (top on shrimp and bake).

Categories     Fish     Marinate     Backyard BBQ     Lime     Cucumber     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Honey     Jalapeño     Cilantro     Swordfish     Gourmet

Yield Makes 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For swordfish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing pan
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (1-inch-thick) swordfish steak (6 ounces)
For salsa
1 lime
1 (1/4-pound) Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion greens
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Steps:

  • Marinate swordfish:
  • Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
  • Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
  • Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grill swordfish:
  • Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality swordfish steaks. Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a slightly briny smell.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Use a hot grill to cook the swordfish steaks. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside of the fish moist.
  • Cook the swordfish steaks for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is cooked through.
  • Serve the swordfish steaks with a flavorful sauce, such as the cilantro-lime butter sauce in this recipe. You can also serve them with grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to cook and can be served with a variety of sides.
