Description

Chef John grills fresh swordfish steaks and tops them off with a spicy homemade white hot sauce in this easy, summer recipe.

Ingredients

1 habanero chile, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon extra-hot prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2/15 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (6 ounce) swordfish steaks
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt to taste
1 tablespoon sliced green onions

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Crush the habanero and kosher salt into a fine paste with a mortar and pestle.
3 Whisk in mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, vinegar, white pepper, and garlic powder.
4 Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer before using to remove the pepper skins and particles of horseradish. Set aside until needed.
5 Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
6 Coat filets on both sides with olive oil and season with salt.
7 Place filets on the preheated grill, flipping as needed, until they spring back lightly to the touch. Remove from heat.
8 Plate fish as desired and top with white hot sauce and green onions.
