Ingredients:


2 teaspoons minced gingerroot

2 cloves garlic

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons minced thyme

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

4 fillets swordfish steaks -- 6 oz each and 1 inch thick

---for the pesto---

1/3 cup olive oil

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/3 cup pine nuts

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a bowl combine the gingerroot, garlic, lime juice, oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange the swordfish steaks in a shallow glass baking dish and spoon the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate, covered and chilled, turning once, for an hour. Meanwhile, make the pesto. In a food processor combine all the ingredients and transfer to a bowl. Place swordfish steaks on your grill. Cook the steaks 4 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until firm to the touch. Alternatively, grill them under a preheated grill 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with pesto.
