Swordfish Skewers With Spicy Coconut Citrus Sauce

How to Make

• Step 1: Sauce ... Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender; and, puree until smooth. Pour into a small bowl, cover and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

• Step 2: Kabobs ... First, pat the swordfish bites dry, using a paper towel. Then, skewer the swordfish bites, leaving a little room in between each bite. Otherwise, the swordfish will steam rather than cook evenly. Brush the skewers with the vegetable oil; and, season with salt and pepper on all sides. If using wood skewers; make sure to soak them first, especially if using an outdoor grill.

• Step 3: Grill ... Cook the swordfish on each side for approximately 2 minutes; they should take around 6-8 minutes total. You want them firm to the touch; but, keep an eye on them. Unlike salmon, you don't want them medium rare ... but, a slight medium, is just about right. Again, this can vary on your grill temp; and, the size of your swordfish bites.

• Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! ... As mentioned; I like to serve the skewers over a bed of rice - plated family style. Drizzle with some of the sauce over the skewers and rice; and, garnish with plenty of cilantro, diced scallions; and, even a little extra toasted coconut, if you want. Then, serve the extra sauce on the side.

• Step 5: FYI: To toast the coconut for the garnish; simply add the coconut to a dry non stick pan, medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Keep and eye on it. So simple to make; and, it is really is a nice garnish.

• Step 6: Also, grilled or sauteed vegetables are a perfect side; as well as, small skewers of grilled pineapple. A healthy and a delicious dinner.
