GRILLED ROSEMARY SWORDFISH
My husband loves swordfish, and we have a ton of swordfish recipes because of that. But, this is his favorite way to have it-moist, tender and perked up with herbs. Tuna is a good substitute for swordfish. Its firm texture stands up to grilling. -Lorie Rice, Liverpool, New York

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.)

Steps:

- 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.

SWORDFISH MARINATED IN LEMON, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, oil, rosemary and garlic on a large, shallow platter or a tray large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer. Add the swordfish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Brush the grill or broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Just before serving time, preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the swordfish to grill or broiler pan, reserve the marinade left on the platter. If broiling, adjust the oven rack so that the tops of the fish are about 3 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks. Broil until lightly browned and the center of the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve garnished with capers and lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish: Opt for swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid steaks that are too thin or have a lot of dark spots or blemishes.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to enhance its taste and keep it moist during grilling.
- Grill the swordfish over high heat: High heat helps to sear the outside of the swordfish and create a crispy crust, while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Cook the swordfish to your desired doneness: Swordfish can be cooked to different degrees of doneness, depending on your preference. For medium-rare, cook the swordfish for about 4-5 minutes per side. For medium, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. And for well-done, cook for about 7-8 minutes per side.
- Let the swordfish rest before serving: Allow the swordfish to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps to redistribute the juices and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
