Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Swordfish with Cucumber Sauce.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep your delicious swordfish from sticking.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, let’s whip up a refreshing cucumber sauce.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together minced cucumber, creamy sour cream, zesty lemon juice, and fragrant lemon zest.
Step 4
Stir everything well and season it with a pinch of salt to your liking.
Step 5
Pop the sauce in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Step 6
Next, grab a skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in the minced onion and garlic, cooking them until the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Now, stir in the chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 9
Bring this flavorful mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
Don’t forget to season it with a dash of black pepper before removing it from the heat.
Step 11
Now it’s time to prepare the star of the show! Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, ensuring they’re well coated.
Step 12
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
Step 13
You’ll know they’re ready when they’re no longer translucent in the center and flake easily with a fork.
Step 14
For an extra burst of flavor, baste the fish with the chili sauce while it grills.
Step 15
Once done, serve your perfectly grilled swordfish with fresh lemon slices and that chilled cucumber sauce on the side.
Step 16
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
