Swordfish with Cilantro-Lime Cream Recipe

Swordfish with Cilantro-Lime Cream Recipe

  • 1 pound swordfish steaks (3/4 in. thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
  • 3 tablespoons minced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons Lucerne Whipping Cream
  • Salt and pepper
  • Lime wedges
  • 3 sprigs fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  1. Rinse swordfish steaks and pat dry. Dust with bread crumbs.
  2. Melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; add swordfish and cook until browned on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until browned on the other side and opaque but still moist in center (cut to test), 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer fish to a warm platter; keep warm.
  3. Add onion to pan and stir just to wilt, about 30 seconds. Add cilantro, lime juice, and cream, stirring until it boils vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Divide fish among 3 dinner plates. Pour sauce equally over fish. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge and cilantro sprigs.
