Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 12 garlic cloves, peeled
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, more for later
1 tsp coriander
3/4 tsp cumin
1/2 to 1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 swordfish steaks, about 5 to 6 ounces each, from sustainable sources
Crushed red pepper, optional

Steps:

  • In a food processor, blend the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper for about three minutes or until well-combined forming a thick and smooth marinade.
  • Pat the swordfish steaks dry and place them in a pan (or a dish with sides to it) and apply the marinade generously on both sides and set aside for 15 minutes or so while you heat the grill.
  • Preheat a gas grill on high (be sure to oil the grates before using). When ready, grill the fish steaks on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, turn over once and grill on the other side for 3 minutes or so (the fish should flake easily, while maintain firmness. You will likely see a bit of pink on the inside, but it should cook through by the time it gets to the table).
  • Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like heat. Enjoy!

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS



Grilled Marinated Swordfish Steaks image

Swordfish, with its firm, lean flesh, is an ideal candidate for grilling. It's not as forgiving as some fatty fish, like tuna and black sea bass, so proceed with caution. If you remove the fish from the fire when the center is still slightly pink, by the time it gets to the table it should be cooked through. A quick marinade of soy sauce, red wine vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander and cumin pairs beautifully with the meatiness of the fish, but do not marinate for more than 10 to 15 minutes, or the acid will break down the flesh and leave it mushy (or the flavor will overpower the fish). If you don't have a grill, this works equally well in a broiler. Serve this alongside a colorful pile of Pierre Franey's green bean and tomato salad. It's a summer meal you'll never forget. (Swordfish is on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood watch list, but you can find sustainable options here.)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 center-cut swordfish steaks, about 6 ounces each, one-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
4 sprigs rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
  • Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, lightly packed

  • Combine the vinegar and mustard in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly, then add the herbs. Pulse again until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, add the olive oil very slowly so that the mixture will emulsify into a smooth blend. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. This dressing will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
  • 4 6 to 8 ounce swordfish steaks, at least 3/4 inch thick 2 large vidalia onions, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick slices 2 sweet red peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 2 sweet yellow peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 12 large shiitake mushroom caps 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper
  • The night before, rub the swordfish steaks with the marinade. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, overnight. The next day, prepare an outdoor grill for cooking. Right before grilling, toss the onions, peppers and mushrooms with the olive oil, salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, grill the swordfish until it is well colored on both sides and the interior is medium (about 3 to 4 minutes per side, total).When you have added the fish to the grill, spread the vegetables along the perimeter of the grill and carefully cook the vegetables without burning. Remove the fish from the grill, plate, drizzle with vinaigrette over the fish, top with vegetables and serve.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1/4 red onions or 1/4 yellow sweet onion, cut into thin vertical slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (each steak should be about 1/2 lb. each)
lime wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
  • Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.
  • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Grill or broil the fish steaks about 3 inches from heat source for 5-7 minutes (time depends on how hot the heat source is), or until lightly browned on one side.
  • Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
  • Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak--fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.
  • Serve steaks on individual plates with lime wedge for garnish.
  • I like to squeeze the lime wedge over the fish for extra POW.

THE BEST GRILLED SWORDFISH



The Best Grilled Swordfish image

My mother always marinated swordfish with Italian dressing and we always loved it! I do the same, but now I grill it rather than broil (as my mom did). Delicious and easy - but only a sometimes treat as swordfish is quite expensive & endangered. This also works nicely for kabobs! And this is a good way to marinate chicken breasts for the grill too.

Time 4h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 lbs swordfish steaks (sliced thick)
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (any variety)

GRILLED SWORDFISH



Grilled Swordfish image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup annatto seeds or 1 tablespoon turmeric
8 six-ounce swordfish steaks
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mango and black-bean salsa (see recipe)
Grilled plantains see recipe
16 lime wedges

Steps:

  • In a small heavy pan, heat oil with annatto seeds or turmeric. Bring to a simmer and turn off heat. Allow to steep for 30 minutes.
  • If using annatto seeds, strain and reserve for another use. If using turmeric, it will have settled to the bottom; do not disturb it. Arrange fish in shallow nonreactive pan. Pour oil over fish and turn to coat. (If using turmeric, pour carefully so turmeric stays in the pan.)
  • Refrigerate at least one hour, turning the fish from time to time; for best color, refrigerate overnight.
  • Prepare an outdoor or top-of-the-stove grill for moderate heat. Drain fish and season with pepper. Grill on both sides, following Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest point and cook 10 minutes to the inch. Serve the fish with the salsa and plantains, garnished with lime wedges.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON-GARLIC MARINADE RECIPE



Grilled Swordfish with Lemon-Garlic Marinade Recipe image

Provided by robinp_3

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb. swordfish
1/2 c. dry white wine
4 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse fish in cold water; pat dry. Combine ingredients, mix well. Place swordfish in marinade. Refrigerate 2-3 hours, turning several times. Preheat grill; brush the salad oil. Place fish on grill, cook approximately 10 minutes per inch, turning halfway through cooking time. Remove from grill, brush with melted butter, garnish with lemon wedges. Works with salmon, too.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use fresh swordfish steaks that are at least 1 inch thick. If you can't find swordfish, you can substitute another firm-fleshed fish such as tuna, salmon, or halibut.
  • Make sure to marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and prevent it from drying out.
  • When grilling the swordfish, cook it over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flaky when it is done.
  • Serve the grilled swordfish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled cumin-marinated swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is tender and flavorful, and the cumin marinade gives it a slightly smoky taste. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this grilled cumin-marinated swordfish a try.
