In a medium saucepan, bring onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth to a rapid boil. Boil, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in couscous; cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut swordfish into 8 pieces of equal size. Set aside.

Working over a small bowl to catch any juice, peel orange, removing all of the white pith. Slice crosswise into 4 slices. Set aside. Add the orange juice to any juice in the bowl, Add cornstarch, stirring until dissolved. Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat, swirl in the canola oil, and add the garlic. Stir-fry for 15 seconds. Add the swordfish and asparagus and stir-fry for 4 minutes, turning the swordfish carefully.

Stir the sauce again and add to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, until swordfish is opaque throughout and nicely coated. Add the orange slices and mint. Cook for another 30 seconds.

To serve, fluff the couscous with a fork and pile into the center of a large platter. Cover and surround with swordfish stir-fry mixture. Squeeze the lemon over all. Serve at once.
