Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy dish that can be prepared in just a few minutes. The key to making a great grilled swordfish is to use a flavorful marinade. Chimichurri is a sauce that originated in Argentina and is made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. It is the perfect complement to swordfish, as it adds a bright and tangy flavor that will tantalize your taste buds.

Steps:
- Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

Steps:
- Combine chimichurri ingredients in a small bowl. Marinate the fish in about half of it, spreading on both sides, 30-60 minutes - no longer - in the fridge. Grill the fish 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, and serve with the remaining marinade spread on top.
ARGENTINEAN-STYLE GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH A SPICY-ORANGE CHIMICHURRI, PAN-ROASTED PEPPERS AND CHARRED SWEET POTATO CHIPS
Steps:
- To prepare the chimichurri, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process for 1 to 2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined. Can be used immediately, but for best results refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 2 hours before serving, to allow to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Brush each sweet potato slice generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until tender when poked with a knife (you want some nice char marks on the potatoes.) You may need to grill in 2 batches. Place on a baking sheet, wrap with foil and place in a preheated to 200 degree F oven.
- Next, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. When hot add the bell peppers and season generously with salt and pepper. Saute until caramelized, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Turn the heat off, toss in the toasted pine nuts, basil and oregano and add a pinch more salt and pepper. Stir to combine and keep warm on the stovetop.
- For the swordfish, again heat your grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the swordfish generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill until just cooked through, but still moist, about 3 to 4 minutes per side (being careful not to overcook the fish.)
- To plate, first put 1/4 of the sweet potato slices onto each of 4 warmed plates. Top potatoes with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt. Next, top the sweet potatoes, with 1/4 of the bell pepper mixture. Then place the swordfish atop that, and spoon a generous amount of the chimichurri over the middle of the fish. To garnish, top the chimichurri with a tiny sprinkling of orange zest, then just a few very thinly sliced pieces of jalapeno, and a twisted orange slice. Serve with warmed sourdough baguette slices and the additional chimichurri on the side. Enjoy!!

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 SWORDFISH KEBABS WITH GOLDEN RAISIN CHIMICHURRI
Swordfish is the perfect seafood for grilling - the flesh is sturdy and firm, with a mild flavor that readily absorbs the aroma of smoke without losing its own. Most people grill swordfish as steaks; the Miami chef Michael Schwartz cuts it into chunks for kebabs, a format that allows him to intersperse the chunks of fish with lemon slices and bay leaves, and grills them over wood (though you could use charcoal or, if necessary, grill over gas). The tips of the bay leaves char, imparting a fragrant herbal smoke. By way of a sauce, Mr. Schwartz serves a classic Argentine chimichurri with a not-so-classic twist - the addition of yellow raisins, which counter the traditional garlic and vinegar with an unexpected note of sweetness. If swordfish is unavailable, use another sturdy fish, like tuna or mako shark.

Steps:
- Make the kebabs: Thread the swordfish, bay leaves and lemon slices alternately onto flat bamboo or metal skewers. Arrange in a nonreactive baking dish. Season the kebabs on all sides with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon over them. Sprinkle with oregano and drizzle with olive oil. Turn the kebabs a few times to coat with the flavorings and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the chimichurri: Place the raisins in a heatproof mixing bowl. Pour boiling water over them and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Let raisins soak for 15 minutes.
- Finely chop parsley, oregano, thyme and garlic in a food processor. Gradually work in 3/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste; the chimichurri should be highly seasoned.
- Drain raisins well and add them to the chimichurri. Pulse the processor a few times to mix, but leave the raisins mostly whole. Transfer 3/4 cup of the chimichurri to a small bowl for basting, and transfer the rest to a serving bowl.
- Meanwhile, build a wood fire in your grill with a hot zone for searing and a medium zone for cooking. (You can do the same with charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, place a few hardwood chunks between the Flavorizer bars or over the burners. Heat one burner on high heat and additional burners on medium heat, adjusting the heat as necessary.) Brush and oil the grill grate.
- Arrange the kebabs over the hot fire and grill until the fish is browned and sizzling and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all. Move kebabs to the medium zone if they start to burn. Baste with a little of the reserved chimichurri as the kebabs cook.
- Serve the kebabs with the remaining chimichurri on the side for spooning over the fish.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS
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.)

THE BEST GRILLED SWORDFISH
My mother always marinated swordfish with Italian dressing and we always loved it! I do the same, but now I grill it rather than broil (as my mom did). Delicious and easy - but only a sometimes treat as swordfish is quite expensive & endangered. This also works nicely for kabobs! And this is a good way to marinate chicken breasts for the grill too.

Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, moist swordfish with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fish that is dry, slimy, or has a strong fishy smell.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in the chimichurri marinade for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse it with flavor and moisture. You can also marinate the fish overnight for even more flavor.
- Grill the swordfish over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the swordfish immediately: Grilled swordfish is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or quinoa.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with chimichurri marinade is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chimichurri marinade adds a bright and flavorful twist to the swordfish, and the grilled fish is cooked to perfection. Serve this dish with your favorite sides and enjoy!
