Jada's notes: tried this on tilapia last nite, it was delicious. Half recipe was perfect for 1lb., I did add tequila, otherwise it's more of a paste texture. Marinated about 45 min at rm temp then grilled on foil and didn't turn over while cooking. Used mesquite instead of hickory cause that's what I've got right now. Scroll down to see Pat's notes, I also skipped the avo mayo and didn't miss it.

Rec: Grilled Swordfish Verde

Grilled Swordfish Verde

The verde on the succulent swordfish comes

from the cilantro and chili marinade and a

silky avocado mayonnaise. Start out with

salsa and tortilla chips, and serve Mexican

beer throughout the meal.

1 cup thinly sliced green onions

3/4 cup (packed) cilantro leaves

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 tbsp grated lime peel

1 1/2 tbsp golden brown sugar

1 tbsp coarsely chopped seeded jalapeño chili

marinade can be thinned w/ tequila if desired

6 8-oz swordfish steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

1 cup hickory smoke chips, soaked in water 30

minutes, drained

Blend first 7 ingredients in processor until

almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour marinade into 13x9x2-inch glass baking

dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat. Cover

and refrigerate 2 hours, or let stand at room

temperature 1 hour, turning fish twice.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Place smoke

chips in 8x6-inch foil packet with open top.

Set packet atop coals about 5 minutes before

grilling. Grill fish until cooked through,

basting often with marinade, about 4 minutes

per side.

Serve fish with avocado mayonnaise.

Makes 6 Servings.Source: 7/97 Bon Appetit

Pat’s notes: This was just delicious. Made half the marinade for 2 large swordfish steaks, marinated about 1 hour then grilled.

Didn’t make the avocado mayonnaise and didn’t miss it. Have also used this marinade on

sturgeon which was great!
