THAI SWORDFISH WRAPS
"This Thai-inspire recipe pairs grilled, spice encrusted swordfish with refreshing vegetables and aromatic herbs". All wrapped in a tender letuce leaf (acting as the perfect hand held meal for warm summer evenings. Having mastered (sort-of) the art of grilling through pictures and hands-on experience, I now feel like I am a master. This dish is quick and easy! Swordfish is lean, so a little oil and a spice rub help to keep it fron sticking to the grill. Like other Asian cuisines Thai dishes pivot around dipping sauces--this spicy, garlicky version is totally addictive! This too was posted as a request. Issue 64 of Cuisine At Home. I have done the best I could in trying to visually show you w/out pictures!!!

Steps:
- CHILE GARLIC SAUCE (MAKE AHEAD):.
- Combine sugar, water, vinegar, and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer until it coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes.
- Cool sauce to room temperature, then stir in remaining ingredients.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill to high.
- MAKE RUB:.
- Pulse sugar and spices in a coffee-grinder until coarsely ground.
- PREPARE FISH:.
- Slice fillets in half crosswise(no need to remove skin yet--peel it off after grilling).
- Brush the fillets with oil, season with salt, then pat the rub on both sides to coat.
- Don't move the fillets around too much or the rub will stick to the grates--not the fish.

- Remove the fillets from the grill, peel off the skin and cut each into 3 strips.
- THE PLATTER:.
