Ingredients: 2 teaspoons minced gingerroot; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons minced thyme; Salt and pepper; 4 swordfish steaks, (about 6 ounces each and 1-inch thick); 1/3 cup olive oil; 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese; 1/3 cup pine nuts; Salt and freshly grated black pepper; 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

In a bowl combine the gingerroot, garlic, lime juice, oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange the swordfish steaks in a shallow glass baking dish and spoon the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate, covered and chilled, turning once, for an hour. Meanwhile, make the pesto. In a food processor combine all the ingredients and transfer to a bowl.
Place swordfish steaks on your grill. Cook the steaks 4 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until firm to the touch. Alternatively, broil them under a preheated broiler 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with pesto.
