Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons grated lime rind
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons bottled fresh ground ginger
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons instant minced garlic
4 (6 ounce) swordfish steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Combine first 7 ingredients in a small saucepan.
  • Dip each steak into lime mixture to coat.
  • Place fish on a broiling pan coated with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Broil 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  • While fish cooks, place lime juice mixture over medium heat; cook until reduced by half (about 8 minutes).
  • Serve sauce with fish.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your swordfish will taste. If possible, use wild-caught swordfish and organic limes.
  • Choose the Right Swordfish: Look for swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid steaks that are too thin or have a lot of dark spots.
  • Season the Swordfish Well: Swordfish is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the Swordfish Over High Heat: Swordfish is a quick-cooking fish, so it's important to cook it over high heat. This will help to sear the fish and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overcook the Swordfish: Swordfish is a delicate fish, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the Swordfish Immediately: Swordfish is best served immediately after it is cooked. Garnish the fish with lime wedges and fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.

Conclusion:

Ginger lime swordfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of ginger, lime, and garlic creates a flavorful crust that perfectly complements the mild flavor of the swordfish. Serve the swordfish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. With its bright, citrusy flavor and tender, flaky texture, ginger lime swordfish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
