Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

Yogurt Sauce

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 large garlic clove, minced

Spice Rub

1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6-ounce swordfish steaks (about 3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Lime wedges

Preparation

  1. For Yogurt Sauce:

    Step 1

    Whisk yogurt, chopped cilantro and minced garlic in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. For Spice Rub:

    Step 2

    Combine chopped onion, chopped garlic cloves, caraway seeds, ground coriander and cayenne pepper in bowl of processor. Process until onion and garlic are very finely chopped and past forms.

    Step 3

    Spread spice rub on each side of swordfish steaks, dividing equally. (Yogurt sauce and spice rub-coated fish can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)

    Step 4

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush grill or broiler pan and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill or broil swordfish steaks until fish is just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Top with dollop of yogurt sauce; garnish with lime wedges and serve.
