How to Make Crunchy Lime Swordfish

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the juice of 1/2 lime, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the swordfish steaks and marinate for 30-45 minutes.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
  3. Dredge each swordfish steak in the flour mixture, gently shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the swordfish steaks to the hot skillet and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the swordfish cooks, prepare your asparagus and baked potato. (Instructions for those are not included in this recipe).
  7. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked swordfish before serving. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
