Thank you for posting this recipe! I recently visited a restaurant in Boston and tried an appetizer that had Swordfish, grape tomatoes and red onions on kabob sticks. I could identify the marinade on it, tasting like cilantro and lemon or lime. I wanted that recipe! Having guests over this weekend, and we finally have nice weather! So I wanted to try something that would put us in the spirit of “summer”! I’m so glad I found your post!! Thanks for your help, I’ll let you know how it came out!
