Method

1 Put the chilli flakes in a large shallow bowl. Add the olive oil, lime zest, juice and garlic and mix everything together. Add the swordfish steaks to the marinade and toss several times to coat completely. Leave to marinate for 30min.

2 Preheat the barbecue - it's ready to use when the coals are glowing and are covered with light ash. Alternatively, preheat a griddle pan until hot.

3 Lift the swordfish out of the marinade, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cook the steaks for 2min on each side. Top with slices of lime and continue to cook for 1min or until the fish is opaque right through.
