How To Make grilled tuna and swordfish with cilantro sauce
-
Step 1Pat the fish dry first, and brush with oil. Place fish in a grilling basket, oil each side of fish again. Over the very hottest coals, brown the fish on each side, turning occasionally to cook evenly.
-
Step 2We like it browned, so for a 1" thick slice of Swordfish, I cooked it 5 minutes on each side. My Tuna was thicker, and it was not over-cooked. My husband's Swordfish was done to perfection for him, but you might like to check it sooner.

Step 3To make sauce: place Cilantro, cream and mayo in blender and pulse a minute or two, add juice of one lime and a little ground garlic and black pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
