Ingredients

  • 1 cup mesquite wood chips
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Four 3/4-inch-thick swordfish steaks (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for the grill
  • Charred Tomato Salsa
  • Warm flour tortillas, for serving

Method

  • Soak the wood chips in water for 1 hour; drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, shallow baking dish, combine the lime juice with the olive oil and garlic.
  • Add the swordfish, season with salt and pepper; turn to coat.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Light a grill.
  • If using charcoal, scatter the wood chips over the coals.
  • If using a gas grill, place the chips in the smoker box or on a 12-inch square of foil; fold the foil into a 6-inch square and poke 12 holes in the top.
  • Place the package near the flames and heat until smoking.
  • Lightly brush the grate with vegetable oil.
  • Grill the swordfish until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve with the Charred Tomato Salsa and warm flour tortillas.
