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.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh swordfish steaks: Fresh swordfish steaks have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid frozen swordfish steaks, as they can be tough and dry.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks: Marinating the swordfish steaks in a flavorful marinade helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the proteins in the fish.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over high heat: Grilling the swordfish steaks over high heat helps to sear the outside of the fish and create a crispy crust. This also helps to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the swordfish steaks to medium-rare: Swordfish steaks are best cooked to medium-rare, as this helps to preserve their delicate flavor and texture. Overcooked swordfish steaks can be tough and dry.
  • Serve the swordfish steaks immediately: Grilled swordfish steaks are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
