This is a new take on an old favorite. By using fish for your Verde you will get a healthier meal with really great flavors.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • 6 8-ounce swordfish steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • 1 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons grated lime peel
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped seeded jalapeno chili
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Blend everything but the swordfish together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a shallow baking dish. Add swordfish and turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature.

Preheat grill. Place fish on grill and brush with remaining marinade. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until done. Fish is done when the meat is opaque and flakes easily and evenly.

Serve with salsa and/or guacamole. For added flavor add hickory wood chips while grilling.
