GRILLED SWORDFISH RECIPE WITH A MEDITERRANEAN TWIST



Grilled Swordfish Recipe with a Mediterranean Twist image

Easy grilled swordfish recipe that utilizes a delicious Mediterranean marinade with cumin, fresh garlic cloves and more. But you don't even need to leave it in the marinade too long! Just a few minutes while your grill is heating!

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.

GRILLED SWORDFISH ESCABECHE



Grilled Swordfish Escabeche image

Though not a true escabeche (cooked first, then marinated and served cold ...), nevertheless this is a delicious variation on a Mark Miller recipe: Swordfish is marinated in lime juice, salt and water, then grilled and topped with a sweetly spicy blend of red wine vinegar, oregano, allspice, cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, garlic and sugar. Mmmmm! Prep time includes marinating swordfish steaks.

GRILLED SWORDFISH



Grilled Swordfish image

How to cook moist grilled swordfish with a simple, flavorful lemon herb marinade. A quick, healthy meal great for weeknight dinner or company.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6- to 8-ounce) swordfish steaks (1-inch thick)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 medium lemons (divided)
Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for serving)
Kosher salt (for serving)
Oil (for grilling)

Steps:

  • Pat the swordfish dry on both sides. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a snug, even layer, place the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Zest in both of the lemons, then juice 1 of the lemons into the marinade. Whisk to combine. Slice the second lemon in half crosswise and reserve for grilling.
  • Add the swordfish steaks to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes (do not let sit more than 20 minutes, or the acid will start to break down the fish). Halfway through, flip the swordfish over.
  • Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F; you can also cook the fish under the oven broiler). Scrape the grill grates very clean, then oil to prevent sticking. Grill the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, just until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and cover. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • At the same time you are grilling the swordfish, grill the lemon halves by placing them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until char marks appear, about 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the rested swordfish with herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Enjoy hot.

GRILLED SALMON ESCABECHE



Grilled Salmon Escabeche image

This recipe yields both tender salmon and crisp skin, while also solving for salmon's tendency to stick and fall apart on the grill. First, cooking the salmon skin-side down the whole time protects its delicate flesh from the intense heat and gets the skin so browned that it minimizes sticking. Then, once it's cooked most of the way through, the fish is transferred to a dish of quick-pickled fennel. Just the flesh is submerged in the brine so it cooks, while the skin above the liquid remains potato-chip crisp. This utilizes the age-old technique of escabeche, in which fish, meat or vegetables "cook" in a sauce of vinegar, oil and seasonings. Feel free to add coriander seeds, onion or other flavorings you like in your pickled vegetables. Serve the salmon and fennel with grilled bread, boiled potatoes, a salad or mayonnaise.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 4 limes)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 medium fennel bulb, bulb and stalks thinly sliced, fronds chopped (about 8 ounces)
4 fresh thyme or oregano sprigs or bay leaves
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to medium-high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking.
  • While the grill heats, pat the salmon dry, and set aside to air-dry. In a metal 3-quart dish (like a 9-by-13-inch pan), large (12-inch) oven-safe skillet or a disposable aluminum pan, stir together the lime juice, vinegar, oil and sugar. Add the fennel, thyme and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • When your grates are heating (or on a gas grill, when your grill is nearing temperature), put the dish over indirect heat (where there aren't any coals or where the burner is turned off). Cover the grill and let the fennel mixture warm until the grill reaches temperature, about 5 minutes.
  • When you're ready to grill, season the salmon all over with salt and lightly coat with olive oil. Take the salmon, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil, a fish spatula and a rimmed baking sheet to the grill. Using gloved hands, transfer the dish of pickled fennel to the baking sheet (or another heat-safe surface, like concrete).
  • Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Add the salmon skin-side down over direct heat (above the flame). Cover the grill and cook until the skin is browned and releases easily from the grates and the flesh is opaque three-quarters of the way up the sides, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Check the fish often and move it around the fire to avoid flare-ups.
  • As the fish finishes, nestle it skin-side up among the pickled fennel. Let sit for 5 minutes or up to 30, until the fish is cooked through. Eat with the pickled fennel. Leftovers can be refrigerated and eaten cold or at room temperature the next day. (Remove the skin as it will be soggy at this point.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, opaque flesh that is not too thin or thick.
  • Marinate the swordfish: This helps to infuse flavor and moisture into the fish. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices works well.
