Ingredients

1 cup canned bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup julienned carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
4 swordfish steaks (5 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 slices sourdough bread (1/2 inch thick), toasted
8 teaspoons fat-free blue cheese salad dressing

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the bean sprouts, carrots and onion. Combine the lime juice, sugar and ginger; stir into vegetable mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Drizzle both sides of swordfish steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and cayenne. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
Grill fish, uncovered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until fish just turns opaque.
Place a swordfish steak on each piece of toast; top with 2 teaspoons blue cheese dressing and about 1/2 cup bean sprout mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
