Grilled Swordfish

Tasty and beautiful! Make an appetizing dinner! Grilled swordfish is a dish that's quick and easy to put together — and it works just as well for a weeknight as it does when you have guests over. It comes out delicious and gorgeous. Swordfish stays firm and doesn't fall apart on the grill, which makes it ideal for grilling, and it has very few bones. Cilantro and lime are the perfect finish for fish, especially grilled. If you don't have lime, lemon works too.

  • This dish is incredibly easy to make — and fast. And the result is simply excellent! Here goes: 1. Rinse the swordfish steaks, then blot them with a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture. Transfer the fish to a bowl of a suitable size. 2. Drizzle the swordfish pieces with olive oil and toss them with your hands. 3. Season the steaks with salt, ground black pepper, and coriander. Toss well by hand so the oil and spices coat the fish evenly. 4. Heat the grill to high while the fish marinates and takes on the aroma and flavor of the coriander and black pepper. 5. Grill the fish on both sides, about three minutes per side — the exact time depends on the thickness of the steaks. Pieces about 1/2 inch (1–1.5 cm) thick will take around three minutes, until they reach a nice, appetizing golden crust. 6. Wash and dry the lime, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl; set it aside. If you don't have lime, lemon works just as well, but lime is worth a try. 7. Wash the cilantro, set it on paper towels, and gently blot off the moisture. 8. Put the cooked fish on individual plates and pour the lime juice generously over the top. 9. Place a tablespoon of butter on each steak. 10. Sprinkle the fish with coarsely chopped cilantro, garnish with lime (cut the remaining half into two wedges), and serve. Enjoy — happy cooking!
