Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound 3/4-inch-thick swordfish steaks
Olive oil
Warm corn tortillas
Lime wedges
Thinly sliced cabbage
For Pico de Gallo:
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 green onion bunch, thinly sliced
2 jalapeño chilies, seeded, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Sour cream

Steps:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush swordfish generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to plate and cut into chunks. Serve swordfish with corn tortillas, lime wedges, cabbage, Pico de Gallo and sour cream, allowing guests to assemble their own tacos.
Make the Pico de Gallo:
Combine all ingredients in bowl. Season to taste with salt. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Store at room temperature.)

Tips:

Choose the freshest swordfish you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
Cook the swordfish properly. Swordfish is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it over medium-high heat until it is just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Use a variety of toppings. Swordfish tacos are a great opportunity to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include avocado, salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.
Serve the tacos immediately. Swordfish tacos are best served immediately after they are made, while the fish is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Swordfish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
