Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 lime, juice of
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 fresh swordfish steaks, 2 pounds, total
  • fresh salsa (your recipe or, Heaven forbid, jarred.)

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients, except the swordfish and salsa, in a mixing bowl.
  • Place the fish in a resealable container.
  • Pour the marinade over the swordfish and move the fish around to make sure it is evenly covered.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Start the coals in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill.
  • Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and leave undisturbed until grill marks form.
  • Then, rotate the fish 90 degrees to create a second set of marks.
  • After about 4 minutes, turn the fish to cook on the other side for another 4 minutes, or until firm but still juicy.
  • To serve: Place 1 steak on each plate and top with a generous spoonful of the salsa.
