Grilled Swordfish Steaks

The combination of herbs and spices here give this quick meal a really fabulous, fresh flavor. Great on a warm summer evening when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

4 swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick
1/4 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 TB fresh lemon or lime juice
3 TB olive oil

In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, the dried spices and the lemon/lime juice. With the machine on, slowly add the olive oil to make a marinade paste. Put swordfish steaks in a covered bowl or resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Work the marinade around to make sure it comes in contact with all the surfaces of the fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove the swordfish from the marinade and grill over high heat, about 4-5 minutes per side until nicely browned and just opaque throughout.
