Marinade

Grilled Limes

Method

Marinating the Swordfish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Swordfish

    Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Rice Pilaf

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the Jefferson Red rice and corn to the pan. Stir to combine, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until rice is tender.

Grilling the Swordfish

  1. 5

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Swordfish

    Remove swordfish from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 7

    Grill the Limes

    Place the halved limes on the grill for 2-3 minutes until charred.

Making the Avocado Salad

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, serve a generous scoop of rice pilaf, top with grilled swordfish, and a scoop of avocado salad. Garnish with grilled lime halves.
