Swordfish is an excellent firm-fleshed
fish that adapts easily to different flavors. Here's it's quickly
cooked in a simple Thai-inspired marinade.
Thai-Style
Swordfish Steaks
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
4 green onions, diagonally sliced
3 cups cooked rice
- Combine soy sauce, brown
sugar, cumin, sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a 11 x 7 x
2-inch microwave-safe dish. Add swordfish and turn to coat both
sides. Marinate for 5 to 15 minutes.
- Turn steaks over and cover
with lid or wax paper. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes; rotate
dish ¼ turn. Sprinkle with onions and continue to microwave
on HIGH 1 1/2 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily when
tested with a fork. Let stand, covered, for 2 minutes. Serve
fish and sauce over rice. Garnish with red bell pepper, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
Seafood Alternatives: shark,
tuna, salmon or halibut.
