Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 lbs swordfish steaks (4) or 1 1/2 lbs halibut steaks (4)
• 1 orange
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• salt & fresh ground pepper

Recipe

• 1 rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.
• 2 grate the peel from the orange using the finest side of a grater, being careful to remove only the outermost layer of skin and not any of the bitter pith. grate enough peel to measure 1 teaspoon. set aside.
• 3 combine orange juice, lemon juice, oil and soy sauce in small bowl. pour 1/2 of this orange juice mixture into a shallow glass dish. add 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel to orange juice mixture. coat fish in mixture; cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• 4 prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
• 5 place remaining 1/2 of orange juice mixture in small saucepan. stir in cornstarch and remaining 1/2 teaspoon orange peel. heat over medium-high 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring constantly; set aside.
• 6 remove fish from marinade; discard remaining marinade. lightly sprinkle fish with salt and pepper to taste. grill fish steaks, on uncovered grill, over medium coals 3-4 minutes per side until fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with fork. spoon orange sauce over grilled fish, and garnish with orange segments, if desired. serve immediately.
• 7 **optional: if you'd like to garnish the steak with orange segments, cut off a slice from the top and bottom of the orange you grated peel from. slice the remaining peel and pith off orange in wide strips, following curve of orange.
• 8 make "v-shaped" slices into center of orange just inside of membranes to remove orange segments; set aside. discard orange membranes.
