ROASTED CORN WITH CHILI LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the corn in its husks directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is soft when you press on it, 30 to 40 minutes.
• While the corn is roasting, combine the butter with the chili powder and lime zest.
• Peel down the husks and tie in a knot to use as a handle while eating. Rub the corn with soft butter mixture, and garnish with a lime wedge. (This roasting method produces the sweetest corn I have ever tasted.)

• If cooking on a grill: Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place corn and zucchini over direct heat and cook on all sides until well-seared. Transfer corn and zucchini to indirect heat and allow to continue cooking until tender, 8 to 12 minutes more. Brush swordfish with oil (portion for the fish) and season with some salt. Sear fish over high heat until flaky and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Squeeze lime juice over top.
• If cooking on stovetop: Add corn to stockpot of boiling water and boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Heat up a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and add zucchini to heated oil. Cook on all sides until tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. Set aside. Brush swordfish with oil (portion for the fish) and season with some salt. Sear fish until flaky and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Squeeze lime juice over top.
