GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH CUCUMBER SAUCE



Grilled Swordfish Steaks with Cucumber Sauce image

This wonderful, tangy sauce really compliments the flavor of grilled swordfish steaks. Serve with the cucumber sauce, and the combination of flavors are wonderful. This is my favorite way to have swordfish. You may add some diced hot peppers or spices if you would prefer some heat. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and minced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato-based chili sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1 1/2-inches thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Stir the cucumber, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until combined. Season to taste with salt, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chili sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with black pepper, and remove from the heat.
  • Brush the swordfish steaks on all sides with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook on the preheated grill until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and easily flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Baste with the chili sauce while grilling. Serve the swordfish with lemon slices and the cucumber sauce.

Provided by TasteTester

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs swordfish steaks (4) or 1 1/2 lbs halibut steaks (4)
1 orange
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Grate the peel from the orange using the finest side of a grater, being careful to remove only the outermost layer of skin and not any of the bitter white pith. Grate enough peel to measure 1 teaspoon. Set aside.
  • Combine orange juice, lemon juice, oil and soy sauce in small bowl. Pour 1/2 of this orange juice mixture into a shallow glass dish. Add 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel to orange juice mixture. Coat fish in mixture; cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
  • Place remaining 1/2 of orange juice mixture in small saucepan. Stir in cornstarch and remaining 1/2 teaspoon orange peel. Heat over medium-high 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring constantly; set aside.
  • Remove fish from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Lightly sprinkle fish with salt and pepper to taste. Grill fish steaks, on uncovered grill, over medium coals 3-4 minutes per side until fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with fork. Spoon orange sauce over grilled fish, and garnish with orange segments, if desired. Serve immediately.
  • **Optional: If you'd like to garnish the steak with orange segments, cut off a slice from the top and bottom of the orange you grated peel from. Slice the remaining peel and pith off orange in wide strips, following curve of orange.
  • Make "V-shaped" slices into center of orange just inside of membranes to remove orange segments; set aside. Discard orange membranes.

FISH WITH CITRUS-CHILE SAUCE



Fish With Citrus-Chile Sauce image

This light yet earthy sauce lends a generous, almost floral warmth to any white, sturdy fish. For heat, there are crushed Calabrian chiles, smoky and sunny; for a mellow sourness, Moscatel vinegar - feel free to substitute apple cider vinegar and a little sugar to approximate the same fruitiness; and for funk, fermented white pepper (although regular white pepper will work too). Other notes include delicate marjoram, cousin to oregano but less forward, with its comforting contour of balsam, and Timur pepper from Nepal, fragrant and bright, calling to mind a just-peeled tangerine. (If you use Sichuan pepper instead, give it a citrus boost with extra orange juice and a shower of orange zest.) The sauce comes out denser than a vinaigrette but still loose and the orange-red of a young sunset.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon Timur (Timut) peppercorns (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon white peppercorns, preferably fermented (see Tip)
1 1/2 tablespoons Moscatel vinegar (see Tip)
2 teaspoons crushed Calabrian chiles (in oil)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh marjoram leaves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon orange or tangerine juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
4 sturdy white fish fillets or steaks (about 6 ounces each), such as halibut, red snapper, sea bass or swordfish
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Toast the Timur pepper in a dry skillet over medium heat. When the pods are fragrant but not yet darker brown, remove them from the heat and let cool. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, crush into a fine powder, along with the white peppercorns.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, chiles, marjoram, juice, garlic and the freshly ground Timur and white pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld, then gradually whisk in the olive oil. Add salt. Taste and add more of whichever seasonings you like, whisking as you go. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Make the fish: Pat the fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. If cooking on the stovetop, coat a skillet with oil and heat over medium-high. (The skillet should be large enough to hold all the fillets with space between them. If it isn't, work in batches.) Carefully add the fish to the hot oil and pan-fry the fish until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. (Gently probe the fish with a fork; if it flakes, it's done.) Remove from the heat and transfer to plates.
  • If grilling, heat a grill to medium-high. Generously brush or rub the fish with olive oil to coat. Place on the hot grill grates, skin side down if there's skin and cover if using a gas grill. Cook until the fish releases easily from the grate, about 3 minutes. For thinner fillets, the flesh will be just opaque throughout and starting to gape and the fillets don't need to be flipped. Simply transfer them to plates. For thick fillets or steaks, carefully flip the fish and cook until just opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more, then transfer to plates. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.

Grilled Swordfish Steaks With Asian Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Elka Gilmore

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup Chinese plum sauce
1/4 cup Chinese hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese chili paste with garlic
Grated zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
4 swordfish steaks, 5 ounces each, skin removed
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cups loosely packed spicy greens (like mizuna, red mustard, arugula and tatsoi)
4 scallions, including 2 inches of the green part, sliced
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon mixed black and white sesame seeds
Sprigs of coriander for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat grill.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest swordfish steaks available. Look for steaks that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks before grilling. This will help to tenderize the fish and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and keep it from drying out. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make sure the orange-thyme sauce is hot before serving. You can reheat the sauce in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
  • Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with the orange-thyme sauce and your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish steaks with orange-thyme sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The swordfish is tender and flaky, and the orange-thyme sauce is light and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
