Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and minced
• 1 cup tomato-based chili sauce
• 2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1 1/2-inches thick
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup minced onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Stir the cucumber, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until combined. Season to taste with salt, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chili sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with black pepper, and remove from the heat.

Step 3

Brush the swordfish steaks on all sides with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook on the preheated grill until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and easily flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Baste with the chili sauce while grilling. Serve the swordfish with lemon slices and the cucumber sauce.
