1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 fillets 4 ounce pieces swordfish (about 1/2-- to 3/4-inch thick)

1 medium cucumber -- peeled and seeded

1/3 cup plain yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves -- chopped

2 loaf sourdough -- salt, caraway, or poppy seed sandwich rolls, sliced in half

Preparation / Directions:


Prepare the grill. (Alternately, the swordfish can be prepared in a hot skillet and cooked for 3 minutes per side.) In a shallow dish combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and salt and pepper with a fork. Place the swordfish in the dish and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and chill while preparing the cucumber sauce. Coarsely shred the cucumber onto a clean cloth and squeeze to extract the liquid. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the yogurt, mint and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use. Grill the swordfish for 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on thickness of steak. Transfer each swordfish steak to a roll and top with cucumber sauce and watercress or arugula. Garnish with lemon wedges. Yield: 2 sandwiches
