Ok this recipe needs tweaking. Yes it is good, but in order to make it good I added a pinch of salt & the juice from the other half orange, then 1/2 hour before cooking I spread the sauce over the fish & let it marinate. Like the other reviewer, my "sauce" was way too herby & needed to be cooked. As it turned out, it was delicious. The swordfish was tender, moist & the marinade was spot on. I also left the fish whole. I served it with rice pilaf & a grilled vegetable kebob.

Preparation
- Directions: Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Squeeze orange to extract 1/4 cup juice. Combine orange juice, basil leaves, olive oil, and garlic cloves in a mini chopper; add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process basil leaf mixture until finely chopped. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper evenly over fish; thread fish onto 4 (12-inch) skewers.
