Cajun-Rubbed Fish

Fish should never be marinated longer than one hour; otherwise, the flesh may become mushy. This is a perfect last-minute dish for entertaining.

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 (5-ounce) swordfish steaks
  1. Prepare and preheat grill.

  2. In small bowl, combine pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon zest, dill weed, salt, and brown sugar and mix well.

  3. Sprinkle onto both sides of the swordfish steaks and rub in. Set aside for 30 minutes.

  4. Brush grill with oil. Add swordfish; cook without moving for 4 minutes. Then carefully turn steaks and cook for 2–4 minutes on second side until fish just flakes when tested with fork. Serve immediately.
