Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Notes
Variations You can use tuna in place of the swordfish. Cook the tuna a few minutes less than the swordfish so that it's still pink inside.
Suggested Pairing
Although a meaty fish such as swordfish can usually take a red wine, the minty accents here are better accentuated by a crisp white wine such as a Pinot Grigio from Italy or a Sauvignon Blanc from Washington State.
