Swordfish with Citrus Pesto

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Swordfish:
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Blend the basil, pine
nuts, garlic, zests, juices, salt, and pepper in a food processor until the mixture is
finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the mixture is
smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the Parmesan.

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush both
sides of the swordfish fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the
swordfish about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a 1-inch thick fillet.

Transfer the grilled swordfish to serving plates, top with the citrus pesto, and
serve.
