Ingredients

Chutney:

1 (1-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger
3 scallions (white and green parts), cut into large pieces
1 cup fresh mint (leaves and some stems)
1 cup fresh cilantro (leaves and some stems)
1⁄4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 jalapeno, stemmed (ribs and seeds removed if you don't want it too hot)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed

Fish:

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Madras-style curry powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
Basmati rice, for serving, optional

Directions

Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler element and preheat to high.

For the chutney: With the machine running, drop the ginger into the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the scallions, mint, cilantro, yogurt, jalapeno, lime juice, and salt. Process to a textured sauce similar in consistency to pesto, adding water to adjust the consistency, if necessary. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

For the fish: rub the oil, curry, salt and pepper on the fish. Carefully lay the swordfish on the preheated broiler pan and return to the broiler. Cook the steaks without turning until just cooked through more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the side registers about 135 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Transfer steaks to 4 plates and serve with the chutney and rice, if desired.

Tons of Taste!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for 2 instead of four, with my boyfriend helping out. My grocer was out of swordfish so I subbed Mahi Mahi... for the fish, and I would agree that it needs more time under the broiler. The chutney was easy and quick, and the rub for the fish combined for a tastey meal that I was slight shocked we'd done ourselves! I would highly recommend this dish!Read more

Excellent, very different
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With a mostly vegetarian husband I'm always looking for new seafood recipes, and we thought this one was great. Watch out for... how much of the jalapeno you use - the chutney can get hot. I'm not sure why the previous reviewer said it was dry with no flavor, unless too little of the curry was used and the fish overcooked. I made this as part of a buffet for a big Fourth of July gathering and EVERYONE liked it - for 16 people, that's a huge range of palates, and included teenagers to foodies. Will definitely be making this often in the future. The chutney can definitely be varied to have the consistancy and flavor you like the best, so experiment with it!Read more

Yummy, Quick, & Easy; Watch the salt
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We enjoyed this recipe, but found it a little salty . . . Next time I will leave out at least half the salt (maybe more). ... The chutney is very good, and everything is quick and easy to make. I also found that the fish needed an extra 2-3 minutes to cook. We'll add this one into our recipe rotation!Read more

Oh my god
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best fish recipe I've ever tried, especially since I had excellent fish. The mint chutney is so good you almost... want to eat it alone, but watch out for how many jalapeno seeds you leave in because it can get almost too hot. The curry rub is not overpowering -- just a nice light flavor perfectly complemented by the chutney.Read more

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was fabulous! I used fat-free yogurt for the chutney to keep it real healthy. The chutney is fresh, minty and... spicy. It's really good and easy too. Try it!Read more
