"Finding this recipe @ sauceandsensibilitydotcom was like stepping back in time to my teenage yrs & standing w/my Dad on our patio while he grilled swordfish for the family .. our favorite fish that he bought at a local fish market in Tulsa, OK. It was pricey, but we loved it! This swordfish is prepared simply (as is the Azorean way) & then the recipe becomes all about the sauce. According to Susan who posted the recipe, this is especially good for a summer evening spent on your patio (just like my family memory). -- I suggest the sauce be made 1st & then reheated when the swordfish is ready to be plated. Times were estimated by me & extra time allowed for ingredient prep. ENJOY!"
