GRILLED SWORDFISH IN LIME-GINGER MARINADE
FROM: Family Circle

2 tsps. grated lime rind
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
3 TBLS. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 TBLS. sweet rice cooking wine
1 TBL. sugar
1 TBL. grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4" thick (about 6 oz. each)
1 large bunch (1 lb.) baby bok choy, trimmed, rinsed and cut crosswise into 1" wide strips
6 oz. Thai rice noodles (1/8")
1 sweet yellow pepper, thinly sliced
2 large scallions, thinly sliced

In bowl, whisk rind, juice, soy sauce, wine, sugar, ginger and garlic.

Place fish in a shallow baking dish, coat with lime mixture and cover. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, turning over after 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Heat stovetop grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Remove fish from marinade; pour marinade into saucepan.

Grill fish until opaque, 7 to 8 minutes, turning over halfway. Transfer fish to plate; keep warm. Save marinade.

Meanwhile, cook bok choy in boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove to plate. Cook noodles in same water, following package directions.

Boil reserved marinade 3 minutes. Add pepper strips; cook 1 minute. Stir in scallions.

Serve each piece of fish over 1/2 cup noodles and a quarter of the bok choy. Top each with one quarter of the sauce with peppers and scallions.
