Chili Lime Swordfish Recipes

LIME AND CHILLI SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Put the chilli flakes in a large shallow bowl. Add the olive oil, lime zest, juice and garlic and mix everything together. Add the swordfish steaks to the marinade and toss several times to coat completely. Leave to marinate for 30min.
• Preheat the barbecue - it's ready to use when the coals are glowing and are covered with light ash. Alternatively, preheat a griddle pan until hot.
• Lift the swordfish out of the marinade, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cook the steaks for 2min on each side. Top with slices of lime and continue to cook for 1min or until the fish is opaque right through.

SWORDFISH WITH SOMALI CILANTRO AND GREEN CHILE PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In the jar of a blender or in a food processor, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season the sauce to taste with more lime juice or salt if needed. Serve immediately or place in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• For the swordfish: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the swordfish dry and season with salt. Add the olive oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the swordfish and cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. To serve, mound the cabbage on serving plates and top with the swordfish. Drizzle with some of the cilantro and green chile sauce.
