ingredients
- 4 6 ounce steaks at least 1" thick swordfish
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 bunch green leaf lettuce
- 1 sliced tomato
Method
Step 1
Prepare the Swordfish: Marinate the swordfish steaks in a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, add the swordfish steaks. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Make the Cilantro Aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 3
Toast the Bread: Toast the hamburger buns until they are crispy and golden.
Step 4
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the cilantro aioli generously on each slice of bread. On one slice, layer lettuce leaves and tomato slices. On the other, place the pan-seared swordfish steaks. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread.
