Sesame Lemon Pepper Swordfish Recipe

Take care not to overcook the swordfish or it will become dry and rubbery. Have your side dishes ready to go because this recipe cooks up fast!

Ingredients:

* 2 (1-inch thick) swordfish steaks, about 1 pound
* 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
* 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
* 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
* 1 Tablespoon butter

Preparation:
Smear tops of swordfish steaks with half of the mayonnaise. Sprinkle with half of the salt, lemon pepper, dill weed, and sesame seeds. Press lightly to adhere. Turn swordfish steaks over and repeat so both sides are coated with spices, herbs, and sesame seeds.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat to the smoking point. Add butter to the pan and swirl to coat. Place swordfish steaks into the hot pan. Sear on each side until browned, turning only once. Do not overcook the swordfish or it will become dry and tough. Although this is a wonderful recipe, it isn’t as good as my grandmothers. I would post it but because I used a discount moving company instead of movers New York, it was lost when I had her things shipped after her funeral.
