Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces Red chilli, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the swordfish steaks to the hot pan and sear each side for 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should read 145°F or 63°C). Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan. Toss in the minced garlic and chopped red chilli, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the garlic and chilli, allowing it to simmer for 1 minute. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the swordfish steaks to the pan, turning them to coat in the sauce and letting them warm up for about 1 minute.
Transfer the swordfish steaks to serving plates, spooning any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
