Indulge in the tantalizing flavors of grilled swordfish, expertly paired with a vibrant coriander lime butter sauce. This delectable dish promises a symphony of textures and tastes, featuring firm, flaky swordfish steaks seared to perfection and infused with a zesty marinade. The coriander lime butter, a harmonious blend of fresh cilantro, tangy lime, and rich butter, adds a burst of aromatic citrus that complements the delicate flavor of the fish. Accompanying this main course are three equally enticing recipes: a refreshing cucumber salad with a hint of mint, a flavorful grilled corn on the cob brushed with a smoky chipotle butter, and a simple yet satisfying roasted broccoli with a touch of garlic and lemon. Prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will delight your palate and leave you craving more.
GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS
Swordfish, with its firm, lean flesh, is an ideal candidate for grilling. It's not as forgiving as some fatty fish, like tuna and black sea bass, so proceed with caution. If you remove the fish from the fire when the center is still slightly pink, by the time it gets to the table it should be cooked through. A quick marinade of soy sauce, red wine vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander and cumin pairs beautifully with the meatiness of the fish, but do not marinate for more than 10 to 15 minutes, or the acid will break down the flesh and leave it mushy (or the flavor will overpower the fish). If you don't have a grill, this works equally well in a broiler. Serve this alongside a colorful pile of Pierre Franey's green bean and tomato salad. It's a summer meal you'll never forget. (Swordfish is on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood watch list, but you can find sustainable options here.)

Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
- Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
- If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CUCUMBER LIME SALSA
Steps:
- Marinate swordfish:
- Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
- Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
- Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
- Grill swordfish:
- Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.
Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid steaks that are too thin or have a strong, fishy smell.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the swordfish. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside tender and flaky.
- Oil the grate: Brush the grill grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. This will also help to create a nice, even sear.
- Cook the swordfish: Cook the swordfish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork.
- Make the coriander-lime butter: While the swordfish is cooking, make the coriander-lime butter. This is a simple sauce that adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the fish.
- Serve the swordfish: Serve the swordfish immediately with the coriander-lime butter. You can also garnish the fish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with coriander-lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The fish is grilled to perfection and the coriander-lime butter adds a bright, citrusy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
