INDONESIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola or peanut oil, plus extra for brushing on the grill
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup minced or finely chopped ginger root
2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Six 8-ounce, 1-inch thick swordfish steaks
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
  • When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

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.)

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality swordfish steaks. Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is made with soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. You can also use other marinades, such as a citrus-based marinade or a herb-infused marinade.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over high heat. This will help to sear the fish and give it a nice char.
  • Cook the swordfish steaks until they are just cooked through. Swordfish is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it.
  • Serve the swordfish steaks with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish steaks with Asian barbecue sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The fish is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. It is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
