Preparation

Step 1
Brush swordfish lightly with vegetable oil and broil or grill until done. Use the Canadian rule: measure fish at the thickest part and cook 10 minutes to the inch.
Step 2
Combine vinegar, ginger, sugar, ½ cup water, soy sauce and pineapple and mix well. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
Step 3
Combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to make smooth paste. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of water and stir well. Stir into sauce and cook briefly, stirring, just until mixture thickens. Spoon sauce over fish; sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
