1 tsp. butter or low-fat spray
1 1/2 lbs. swordfish steaks
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/8 tsp. paprika
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbs. dried sweet or regular basil
2 tbs. fresh lemon juice
watercress, optional garnish
Method:

1. Grease a broiler rack or broiling pan with the butter and place it about 2 inches below the broiler element. Preheat the broiler.
2. Wash the steaks and sprinkle them with the salt, pepper and paprika. Place the steaks on the preheated broiler rack.
3. Coat the top of the steaks with half the olive oil and broil for 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over and coat the other side with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with basil. Broil for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and, if desired, garnish with watercress.
Makes 3 to 4 servings.
