Ingredients: 3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree; 5 tablespoons olive oil; 3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika; 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper; 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley; 4 swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds in all)

Servings: persons

3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
5 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds in all)

1
Light the grill or heat the broiler. Put the tomatoes in a blender or food processor and add 4 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, ginger, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and the parsley. Blend just until the mixture becomes a coarse puree.
2
Coat the swordfish with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Grill or broil the fish for 4 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown and just done, about 4 minutes longer. Serve the sauce alongside.
3
Fish Alternatives: Cod, halibut, tilefish, mahimahi, mako shark, sturgeon, tuna--just about any fish steaks can stand in for the swordfish.
4
Wine Recommendation: Choose a pinot blanc from Alsace in France or a pinot gris from Oregon; both are delightful, easy-drinking white wines that will have enough body and the requisite moderate acidity to pair with the spicy tomato sauce.
