wonderful! I coated the swordfish filets in sesame seed and seasoned then seared until nicely browned. I preheated oven to 375 and baked until swordfish registered 120 degree and put sauce on filets. I continued cooking swordfish until it registered 140 degrees. Served filets over rice adding a touch more sauce so rice would absorb some of the magnificent sauce.
Excellent flavor. Would double the greens as they melt into nothing. Cooking time of 3 minutes and then 2minutes was perfect for a one inch thick swordfish steak. I will add it to the repertoire.
