3 large limes
0.25 cup sugar
0.25 cup water
4 6-ounce swordfish fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
Recipe
1 For the lime sauce:
2 Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool.
3 Juice the limes and strain. Add half of the sugar syrup to the lime juice. Add more sugar syrup until a pleasant balance of sweetness and tartness is reached. Cool to room temperature.
4 For the swordfish:
5 Season the swordfish fillets with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.
6 Place a sauté pan large enough to accommodate all the fillets over medium-high heat. Add the swordfish and lower the heat to medium. Cook until well-browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook 1 more minute.
7 Serve the swordfish topped with the lime sauce.
