If you get your hands on some nice swordfish steaks, this is a delicious way to prepare them. The steaks are marinated in a simple, fresh, cilantro-lime marinade for about an hour. Then they’re grilled. The steaks cook pretty quickly and should be done in only about 8 minutes. The avocado mayonnaise is a blend of avocados, mayonnaise, lime juice and Tabasco. And then you have this fabulous grilled swordfish with avocado mayonnaise.
About swordfish:
Many varieties of fish have a flaky texture, but swordfish has more of a meaty texture. It is sold in steaks. Swordfish is a mild-tasting, white fish. Reddish areas have a stronger flavor and can be cut off and discarded. Trim off the tough and inedible skin before or after cooking. Swordfish is often sold frozen and the quality of frozen is usually pretty good, but make sure that the reddish areas are red, not brown.
Can I substitute another kind of fish for the swordfish in this recipe?
Yes! Substitute other meaty fish such as tuna, halibut, mahi-mahi or salmon in place of the swordfish. You can use the same marinade and top with the avocado mayonnaise.
