I keep trying to introduce fish into our diet and everyone enjoyed this very much. I made it with the beet, jicama, and carrot salad from Elana's Pantry. It was perfect!

All I could taste was orange, the fish was lost, and I vowed never to cook this again. My husband liked it though, so I can't give it zero stars. But he didn't object when I said I wouldn't do it again, so not so wonderful for him either.

Excellent recipe, the citrus went nicely with the swordfish. I would prefer the sauce to be slightly thicker, however.

I am not a fish eater, but at the request of my neice I tried this recipe. According to the people who did eat it, it was very good. The simple grilling of the swordfish teamed with the very easy to make sauce was a great combo.

We all enjoyed this very much. Quick and easy to make and very delicious! The kids balked at the peppers and zest but loved the juice drizzled on top. I will definitely be serving this when we have company over next!
