GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA



Grilled Swordfish With Smoky Tomato-Anchovy Salsa image

This is a simple summer fish dish with robust flavors. Swordfish would be the first choice, for its meatiness and ease of grilling, but any firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, monkfish, corvina or snapper, is a suitable option. Tuna would also work, but for that matter, so would chicken breast, for those at your gathering who don't eat fish. Topped with an easily made salsa of cherry tomatoes, anchovy, hot pepper and smoky pimentón, the whole affair is rather salad-like, best accompanied by arugula or lettuce leaves. Serve with roasted potatoes or garlic toast for a casual picnic-style summer supper.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 anchovy fillets, chopped, plus 4 whole fillets for garnish
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes in different colors
Pinch of dried oregano

Categories     Fish     Marinate     Backyard BBQ     Lime     Cucumber     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Honey     Jalapeño     Cilantro     Swordfish     Gourmet

Yield Makes 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For swordfish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing pan
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (1-inch-thick) swordfish steak (6 ounces)
For salsa
1 lime
1 (1/4-pound) Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion greens
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Steps:

  • Marinate swordfish:
  • Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
  • Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
  • Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grill swordfish:
  • Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh swordfish steaks: Look for swordfish steaks that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor. Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the swordfish over high heat: Preheat your grill to high heat before grilling the swordfish. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grates. Grill the swordfish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the swordfish with salsa: Salsa is a great way to add flavor and freshness to grilled swordfish. You can use your favorite store-bought salsa, or make your own salsa using fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill swordfish that is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Serve the grilled swordfish with salsa, and you have a meal that everyone will enjoy.
