Steps:
- Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or the broiler. The fire should be moderately hot, and the rack set about 4 inches from the heat.
- Gently rinse and stem the figs; chop them into about 1/4-inch pieces, being sure to catch all the juice. Toss in a bowl with the capers, lemon zest and juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside while you cook the fish.
- Brush or rub the fish with the remaining oil, season it with salt and pepper and grill it, turning once, for a total of 6 to 12 minutes. (Swordfish is done when firm and almost opaque throughout; tuna can be cooked to any degree of doneness you like.)
- Just before serving, add the herbs to the fig relish; then taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the fish with the fig relish spooned on top.

SIMPLY GRILLED BASIL-RUBBED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATO-GREEN OLIVE RELISH
Steps:
- Smash the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and mash and smear it to a paste using the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic paste to a medium bowl along with the anchovy, vinegar, pepper flakes and some salt. Whisk to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped basil and gently stir to combine. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Heat a grill to high. Rub both sides of each swordfish steak with two of the basil leaves, leaving some of the now-bruised basil on top of each steak. Brush the steaks with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, basil-side down, until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout, another 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the relish over the fish.

Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- Make relish:
- In a food processor pulse olives until chopped fine. Add remaining relish ingredients and pulse until olives are minced.
- Brush both sides of swordfish with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill fish on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. (Alternatively, fish may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat.)
- Serve swordfish topped with relish.
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH OLIVE, PINE NUT AND GOLDEN RAISIN RELISH AND GRILLED ROMAINE SALAD WITH SUMAC HONEY VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the golden raisins to a small bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate and plump. Remove the raisins but reserve the liquid.
- Heat a small saucepan over low heat with the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pine nuts and reserved raisins and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of the reserved raisin liquid. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and chopped lemon, toss in the chives and season with salt. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a little more of the liquid from the golden raisins. The relish should be thick and homogenous, but not too thin or saucy.
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the swordfish steaks on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the swordfish onto the grill and cook without moving the fish for 2 minutes. When the fish starts to pull away from the pan, you know it's ready to turn. Turn the fish 90 degrees to create a crosshatch. Grill for another 2 minutes. Flip the fish, then repeat on the other side. Remove the fish onto a sheet tray lined with a rack. Transfer into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Drizzle the romaine lettuce with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce onto the grill, cut side down, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, then grill for another 2 minutes. Cut the grilled lettuce into 1-to 2-inch pieces and add to a large bowl along with the radishes and feta cheese.
- Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, honey and sumac to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until emulsified. Season with salt. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the grilled romaine salad. Gently toss to combine. There will be leftover vinaigrette - it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, top the grilled swordfish with some of the olive, pine nut and raisin relish. Drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the grilled romaine lettuce.
BAKED SWORDFISH WITH OLIVE RELISH
Steps:
- Combine all olives, roasted peppers, parsley, minced anchovies, capers, vinegar and garlic in small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Serve at room temperature. )
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place swordfish steaks on large baking sheet. Brush swordfish on both sides with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake just until fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to platter. Spoon olive relish over swordfish and serve.
MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES
Here is another for Worldwide for ZWT3 but I have made this and it was delish. Easy to make the only thing I left out is the hot red pepper flakes as I can't eat "Hot". I also used both green and black olives. I served with a simple tomato/feta salad and rice pilaf. QUICK, EASY AND DELISH!

Steps:
- MIx all ingredients -- and let the flavors meld for a couple of hours before serving.
- Must be served at room temperature.
- Things that I like to add in (not necessarily at the same time).
- anchovies.
- garlic.
- crushed red chili peppers.
- Serve with pita chips, sliced and toasted baguette or bread sticks!
Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, opaque flesh that is light pink or gray in color. Avoid fish that is brown or has a slimy texture.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the swordfish over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Serve the swordfish with a flavorful sauce or relish: A simple lemon-butter sauce or a tangy green olive relish are both excellent choices.
- Garnish the swordfish with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your swordfish is cooked perfectly and that it is packed with flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
