Swordfish with Tomatillo Sauce Recipe

  • 2 (8 ounce) swordfish steaks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped fine
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 4 tomatillos
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock, or water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish
  1. In a food processor bowl, add the tomatillos, jalapeno, cilantro, chicken stock and lemon juice. Process until smooth.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the canola oil, onions and garlic. Saute for 1 or 2 minutes until the onions start to become translucent. Add the tomatillo mixture and cook just until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste test. Add salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Meanwhile, season the swordfish with a dash of salt and the lemon pepper on each side. Grill or broil the swordfish steaks for about 4 minutes per side. Fish should be firm to the touch.
  4. Serve immediately with the tomatillo sauce poured over the swordfish.
