Ingredients

Citrus pesto:

1 bunch fresh basil, stemmed (about 3 cups)

1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

1 clove garlic

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 orange, zested and juiced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup grated Parmesan

Swordfish:

4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks cubed

Extra-virgin olive oil

Lemon pepper

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Brush both sides of the swordfish fillets with olive oil and season with lemon pepper, salt and pepper.

The longer you let it marinade, the more flavorful the fish. I like to do it about 2 hours before I make the pesto, but you can do it right before you make the pesto and its still delicious.

For the pesto, 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.

Skewer the swordfish onto kabob sticks and grill on 425 for about 3-4 mins on each side, or until thoroughly cooked. Be careful not to over cook, fish cooks fairly quickly

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