• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil cooking grate.
• Remove fish from marinade, making sure to reserve marinade.

INDONESIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CORIANDER LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Make Grilled Swordfish:
• Prepare grill.
• In a small bowl together butter, zest, 1 teaspoon lime juice, garlic, coriander, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Rub both sides of swordfish steaks with remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Grill swordfish on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, swordfish may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
• Top each swordfish steak with a dollop of coriander lime butter and serve with grilled onions.
• Make Grilled Spiced Red Onions:
• Prepare grill.
• In a small bowl stir together oil, cumin, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Brush both sides of onion slices with oil mixture and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until well-charred and tender, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, onion slices may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
• Separate onion slices into rings. In a bowl toss onion rings with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with grilled fish, meat, or poultry.

LIME-GLAZED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Whisk the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, olive oil, garlic powder and zest in a large bowl. Add the swordfish to the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours. Remove the swordfish from the marinade. In a small saucepan, bring the marinade to a boil and reduce in half. Place the swordfish on a pan lined with aluminum foil and broil for 3 minutes per side. Spoon the glaze over the swordfish and broil for 2 minutes more. Garnish with lime wedges.
