Step 2
Melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; add swordfish and cook until browned on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until browned on other side and opaque but still moist in center (cut to test), 4 to 5 more minutes. Transfer fish to a warm platter; keep warm.
Step 3
Add onion to pan and stir just to wilt, about 30 seconds. Add cilantro, lime juice, and cream, stirring until it boils vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide fish among 3 dinner plates. Pour sauce equally over fish. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge and cilantro sprigs.

This is a very good and easy to prepare recipe. I used half the amount of lime and used a whole cup of cream as I like extra sauce.

I checked 2 markets - no swordfish. I substituted some great thick tilapia and it was good. I liked the sauce but I think I let it go a little too long. Tasty though.

I thought this was delicious! After five minutes on each side, the swordfish still wasn't done in the middle, so I put it in the microwave for a minute and it was perfect!

This was so simple to make and absolutely delicious. I will definitely make it again soon. Served with corn and black bean salad and chips and salsa.

Pretty good- sauce IS a little overpowering- next time I'll use less lime.
