Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Combine plum sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, orange zest, orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the chopped coriander, 1 teaspoon of the minced ginger and the sesame oil. Brush some of this mixture lightly on the swordfish steaks, and set aside.
• Heat the chicken stock with the remaining ginger in a heavy saucepan. Add the greens, cover and steam just until they wilt, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in the scallions and remaining chopped coriander. Set aside.
• Brush the grill with peanut oil. Grill the swordfish steaks 2 to 3 minutes on each side, brushing with additional sauce mixture.
• Remove the greens from the saucepan, drain them well and place in the center of 4 shallow bowls. Place a swordfish steak on top of each. Add the remaining sauce mixture to the liquid in the saucepan, and quickly bring to a simmer. Drizzle it around the greens and swordfish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, garnish with coriander sprigs and serve.

INDONESIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

• If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired.
