Grilled Swordfish with Chili Lime Butter

Swordfish is a firm, flavorful fish that holds up well to the grill or high heat on the stovetop. A compound butter with garlic, lime zest and spices puts this dish over the top - spoon it on while the fish is still hot for an instant and irresistible sauce.
Smarts: Feel free to sub another protein if you'd prefer - tuna will work well with these flavors as will pork chops or any type of steak.

Make

If using grill, heat to 500F / 260C, keeping one part of grill over direct heat and one part over indirect. If using the stovetop, bring a large stockpot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile, combine pasta with tomatoes, oil (portion for the salad), vinegar, mustard and honey. Set aside.
If cooking on a grill: Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place corn and zucchini over direct heat and cook on all sides until well-seared. Transfer corn and zucchini to indirect heat and allow to continue cooking until tender, 8 to 12 minutes more. Brush swordfish with oil (portion for the fish) and season with some salt. Sear fish over high heat until flaky and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Squeeze lime juice over top.
If cooking on stovetop: Add corn to stockpot of boiling water and boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Heat up a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and add zucchini to heated oil. Cook on all sides until tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. Set aside. Brush swordfish with oil (portion for the fish) and season with some salt. Sear fish until flaky and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Squeeze lime juice over top.
Chop cooked zucchini and stir into pasta salad. Season with some salt and pepper.
While they are still hot, top fish and corn with chili lime butter so that it melts. Enjoy swordfish with corn and pasta salad on the side.
