Ingredients

12 ounces swordfish
Enough vegetable oil for light brushing of fish
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 or 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

Brush swordfish lightly with vegetable oil and broil or grill until done. Use the Canadian rule: measure fish at the thickest part and cook 10 minutes to the inch.
Combine vinegar, ginger, sugar, 1/2 cup water, soy sauce and pineapple and mix well. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
Combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to make smooth paste. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of water and stir well. Stir into sauce and cook briefly, stirring, just until mixture thickens. Spoon sauce over fish; sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
