anyone have swordfish recipes?
 

I love grilled swordfish, but I like it even better if it's been marinated. Problem is that I can't find any for ww. I know a 6 oz. piece is worth 6 points and that's about it. Does anyone have a good recipe?

My favorite is to baste the swordfish in lemon juice and season it with fresh ground pepper. There is no need to actually marinate as swordfish is just pourus enough to absorb the lemon while cooking.
I have also discovered multiple pre-packaged marinades that may be great as well, but have not figured point values as of yet.

Wrap pitas in foil and keep warm in oven. Peel and seed cucumber and grate coarse. Wrap cucumber in a kitchen towel and squeeze to extract liquid. In a small bowl stir together cucumber, yogurt, mint, garlic paste, and salt and pepper to taste. In another bowl combine tomatoes, onion, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

Thread fish onto skewers and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning once, until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove fish from skewers. (Alternatively, cook fish in a heated well-seasoned ridged grill pan in same manner.)

Divide cucumber mixture among pitas, spreading to cover, and top with fish. Sprinkle tomato mixture over fish and roll pitas into cones, wrapping with parchment paper or foil to secure.
