How to Make Malaysian Lime Coconut Swordfish

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
  2. In a food processor, combine shallots, lime juice, coconut milk, cilantro, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Pulse 3-4 times until mixture is coarsely chopped but still has some texture.
  4. Lightly coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
  5. Place swordfish steaks on the prepared broiler pan.
  6. Spread half of the shallot mixture evenly over the swordfish.
  7. Broil for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately, topping each swordfish steak with the remaining shallot mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and lemon wedges, if desired.
