Steps:
- Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or the broiler. The fire should be moderately hot, and the rack set about 4 inches from the heat.
- Gently rinse and stem the figs; chop them into about 1/4-inch pieces, being sure to catch all the juice. Toss in a bowl with the capers, lemon zest and juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside while you cook the fish.
- Brush or rub the fish with the remaining oil, season it with salt and pepper and grill it, turning once, for a total of 6 to 12 minutes. (Swordfish is done when firm and almost opaque throughout; tuna can be cooked to any degree of doneness you like.)
- Just before serving, add the herbs to the fig relish; then taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the fish with the fig relish spooned on top.

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!

SIMPLY GRILLED BASIL-RUBBED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATO-GREEN OLIVE RELISH
Steps:
- Smash the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and mash and smear it to a paste using the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic paste to a medium bowl along with the anchovy, vinegar, pepper flakes and some salt. Whisk to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped basil and gently stir to combine. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Heat a grill to high. Rub both sides of each swordfish steak with two of the basil leaves, leaving some of the now-bruised basil on top of each steak. Brush the steaks with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, basil-side down, until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout, another 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the relish over the fish.
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH OLIVE, PINE NUT AND GOLDEN RAISIN RELISH AND GRILLED ROMAINE SALAD WITH SUMAC HONEY VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the golden raisins to a small bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate and plump. Remove the raisins but reserve the liquid.
- Heat a small saucepan over low heat with the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pine nuts and reserved raisins and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of the reserved raisin liquid. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and chopped lemon, toss in the chives and season with salt. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a little more of the liquid from the golden raisins. The relish should be thick and homogenous, but not too thin or saucy.
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the swordfish steaks on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the swordfish onto the grill and cook without moving the fish for 2 minutes. When the fish starts to pull away from the pan, you know it's ready to turn. Turn the fish 90 degrees to create a crosshatch. Grill for another 2 minutes. Flip the fish, then repeat on the other side. Remove the fish onto a sheet tray lined with a rack. Transfer into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Drizzle the romaine lettuce with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce onto the grill, cut side down, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, then grill for another 2 minutes. Cut the grilled lettuce into 1-to 2-inch pieces and add to a large bowl along with the radishes and feta cheese.
- Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, honey and sumac to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until emulsified. Season with salt. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the grilled romaine salad. Gently toss to combine. There will be leftover vinaigrette - it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, top the grilled swordfish with some of the olive, pine nut and raisin relish. Drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the grilled romaine lettuce.

Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, opaque flesh that is slightly pink or gray in color. Avoid any fish that has a slimy texture or an off odor.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to enhance its flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the outside of the swordfish quickly, while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Cook the swordfish over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the fish from drying out or overcooking.
- Use a fish spatula: A fish spatula is a thin, flexible spatula that is designed to easily slide under delicate fish without breaking it.
- Serve the swordfish immediately: Swordfish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with fig relish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The swordfish is grilled to perfection and the fig relish adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
