Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound 3/4-inch-thick swordfish steaks
Olive oil
Warm corn tortillas
Lime wedges
Thinly sliced cabbage
For Pico de Gallo:
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 green onion bunch, thinly sliced
2 jalapeño chilies, seeded, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Sour cream

Steps:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush swordfish generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to plate and cut into chunks. Serve swordfish with corn tortillas, lime wedges, cabbage, Pico de Gallo and sour cream, allowing guests to assemble their own tacos.
Make the Pico de Gallo:
Combine all ingredients in bowl. Season to taste with salt. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Store at room temperature.)

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality swordfish. Look for firm, opaque flesh with no off-odors.
Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
Cook the swordfish over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
Don't overcook the swordfish. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
Serve the swordfish tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
