Recipe: Curried Swordfish with Yogurt-Mint Sauce

I found this recipe in a card carousel. It was a flavor combination I've never tried, so decided to give it a whirl. The original recipe called for cumin and parsley, which I omitted.

Yield: 2 servings
Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 swordfish steaks (apx. 1- 1 1/4 pounds)
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt, Fage preferred
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped lemon zest, plus extra zest for garnish, if desired
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint, plus extra sprigs for garnish, if desired
• 1/2 tablespoon chopped scallions
• Cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Lightly season fish with kosher salt. Combine curry, cumin and garlic and brush over the fish. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
2. In a small bowl combine yogurt, lemon juice and zest, mint and scallions. Season to taste with cayenne pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill, grill rack cleaned and oiled, to medium-high heat. Cook 3-5 minutes per side, depending on heat of grill and thickness of filets, or until swordfish is just cooked through and white. Spoon yogurt sauce over fish and serve.
