This recipe delivers a flavourful and speedy main course, perfect for a weeknight. Shark or swordfish steaks are marinated in a punchy blend of chilli sauce, fresh ginger, soy, and orange juice, then broiled until perfectly cooked. The entire process takes just over an hour, with most of that time being hands-off marinating. The result is tender, flaky fish with a deliciously spicy and aromatic glaze.
