Provided by Rebecca Firkser

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (4-6-oz.) swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick)
7 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 large lemon
5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 Tbsp. capers (not drained)
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat four 4-6-oz. swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick) dry with paper towels, then coat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with kosher salt; set aside while you make the dressing.
  • Using a sharp chef's knife, trim ends from 1 large lemon; slice into thick rounds and remove seeds. Very finely chop lemon rounds (peel, pith, and flesh) and transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, you can pulse in a food processor.) Mix in 5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. capers (not drained), 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Place reserved swordfish steaks on grill; cover and grill fish, turning once, until flesh is opaque and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130°F for medium-rare) and steaks release easily from grate, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Spoon some dressing over swordfish and serve with remaining dressing alongside. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

GRILLED FISH FILLETS OR STEAKS



Grilled Fish Fillets or Steaks image

Fish steaks are relatively foolproof - they're practically designed for grilling. It always helps to make sure the grill is clean and well oiled just before you put the fish on. Just hold some paper towels in tongs and dip them in a small bowl of oil, then rub on the grates.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

About 1 1/2 pounds thick halibut fillets or steaks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until quite hot, and put the rack 3 or 4 inches from the heat source. Drizzle the flesh of the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • When the fire is ready, grill the fish for about 5 minutes, or until it's firm enough to turn. Turn, and grill until done, usually another 3 to 5 minutes. When done, the fish will still be firm and juicy but opaque, and a thin-bladed knife will pass through it fairly easily. Serve with tomato salsa.

BROILED FISH STEAKS-ABOUT 3/4 INCH THICK



Broiled Fish Steaks-About 3/4 Inch Thick image

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • For salmon, swordfish, tuna, bluefish, shark, mahimahi, and so forth. Here you concentrate on browning the top of the fish; no need to turn it. Dry the fish, paint both sides with melted butter or vegetable oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a shallow pan that will just hold them comfortably. Pour around the steaks 1/8 inch of dry white wine or French vermouth and set 2 inches below a preheated broiler. After 1 minute, brush a little soft butter on top of each and squeeze on drops of lemon juice. Continue broiling about 5 minutes more, or until lightly springy to the touch-cooked through but still juicy. Serve with the cooking juices spooned over.
  • THICK FISH STEAKS-1 TO 2 INCHES THICK. Broil to brown them nicely, then finish off in a 375°F oven.
  • FISH FILLETS. For such fish as salmon, cod, hake, mackerel, trout. Leave the skin on, to keep the fish in shape during cooking, and follow directions for the preceding fish steaks.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Select firm-fleshed fish steaks that can withstand the high heat of broiling, such as salmon, tuna, swordfish, or halibut.
  • Thaw Frozen Fish Properly: If using frozen fish, thaw it thoroughly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
  • Pat Fish Dry: Before cooking, pat the fish steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Season Generously: Season the fish steaks liberally with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also use a pre-made fish seasoning blend or a marinade.
  • Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your broiler to high heat for at least 5 minutes before cooking the fish. This ensures even cooking and prevents the fish from sticking.
  • Broil Fish Properly: Place the seasoned fish steaks on a lightly oiled baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil the fish for 8-12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Use a Thermometer: To ensure the fish is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the fish steak.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fish steaks from the broiler and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges, herbs, or a drizzle of melted butter, and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Broiling fish steaks is a quick and easy method for achieving perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful fish. By following these tips, you can master the art of broiling fish and create delicious, restaurant-quality meals at home.
