Ingredients
- 1 leek
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger peeled, minced
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoons + olive oil
- 2 8-ounce swordfish steaks 1/2" thick
Instructions
- Prepare or preheat a grill for grilling the swordfish steaks.
- Cut the leek in half lengthwise, rinse out any sand well from the layers, lay cut side down on the board and slice thin horizontally with a sharp knife. Use the white and light green part of the leek and discard the dark green leaves. Then rinse well in a colander.
- Peel the thin skin of the ginger root with the side of a spoon, and place it in a small food processor with the garlic cloves. Process until minced.
- Place the leek, garlic and ginger root in a small saucepan with the butter and olive oil. Cover the pot and cook the Ginger Leek sauce on low heat until leeks are tender.
- While the Ginger Leek sauce is cooking, coat the swordfish steaks with a small drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat about 3 minutes per side. Plate your meal with the swordfish steak topped with the Ginger Leek Sauce.
