How to Make Ginger Lime Swordfish

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Dip each swordfish steak (about 6 ounces each) into the lime mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Lightly coat a broiling pan with cooking spray. Place the swordfish steaks on the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle the fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. While the fish broils, continue to simmer the lime juice mixture over medium heat. Reduce the sauce by half, about 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  8. Serve the delicious ginger-lime sauce over the cooked swordfish. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro, if desired.
