Preparation
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the swordfish and the olive oil for grilling, and process until coarsely chopped.
- Rub the swordfish with olive oil, and grill on both sides until cooked, following the Canadian rule: measure at thickest point, and allow 8 to 10 minutes to the inch, turning once. Serve topped with the pesto-lemon-caper sauce.
- This dish is also delicious with grilled chicken breasts.
