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 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks, cut ¾-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 small garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1 medium red onion, diced small (about 1 cup)
1 sweet red pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
2 Fresno chiles, seeds removed and finely diced
4 anchovy fillets, chopped, plus 4 whole fillets for garnish
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes in different colors
Pinch of dried oregano
Arugula leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill. (Alternatively, use a cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place swordfish steaks on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil and rub with fingers to coat. Leave at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, put vinegar, smoked paprika, tomato paste and garlic. Stir to dissolve tomato paste. Add onion, sweet pepper, chiles and 4 chopped anchovy fillets, and stir everything together. Add pinch of salt and ½ to ¾ cup olive oil and stir again.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, lightly season with salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the mixture. Leave to marinate about 10 minutes.
  • Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side. Remove when you see juices begin to rise on second side.
  • Transfer to plates or a large platter. Stir salsa and spoon generously over fish. Sprinkle with oregano. Garnish with whole anchovy fillets. Surround with a generous amount of arugula and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h52m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 fresh limes
3 cloves garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1-ounce peeled fresh ginger root (1 to 1 1/2-inch piece) and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
6 scallions, sliced on the bias
2 pounds cleaned swordfish, skin removed and cut into blocks
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 fiddleheads (new shoots of ostrich ferns), swirled in cold water and rubbed with your fingers to remove fuzzy covering
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
2 large ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 shallot cloves, diced small
3 to 5 scallions, white and tender green parts only, sliced on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt (if needed) and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To marinate the fish: Microwave the limes in a small bowl to release the essential oils. Set limes aside until just cool enough to handle. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add 1 at a time, garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, and scallions. Then, leaving the blender running, squeeze in the juice from the microwaved limes. Place the swordfish in a nonreactive container and pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
  • To marinate the fiddleheads: Place the fiddleheads in a nonreactive bowl. Make the vinaigrette, by adding, 1 at a time, through the feed opening of a running blender the vinegar, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Then, leaving the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow thin stream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and pour over the ferns. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. (Marinating them this way is an alternative to cooking them.)
  • Make the salsa while you are heating the grill for the fish. Whisk together the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar in a bowl and add the olive oil in a slow thin stream while continuing to whisk. Chop the basil leaves and add to the bowl along with the tomatoes, shallots, and scallions. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. (Be sure to taste before seasoning, because the soy is likely to lend saltiness.)
  • Brush the marinated fish with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish, leaving each side undisturbed for the first few minutes to prevent tearing of the flesh. Let rest, then transfer to a cutting board and carve into slices.
  • Place some salsa in the middle of a serving dish, top with sliced fish and garnish with marinated fiddleheads.

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish: Look for swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark spots or blemishes.
  • Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herb marinade is a good place to start.
  • Grill the swordfish over high heat: Swordfish is a hearty fish that can withstand high heat. Grill the steaks over high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check the doneness of the fish by inserting a fork into the center. The fish should be opaque and flake easily.
  • Make the smoked tomato salsa: While the swordfish is grilling, you can make the smoked tomato salsa. This salsa is a great way to add a smoky, flavorful topping to the grilled swordfish. To make the salsa, simply roast some tomatoes in a smoker until they are charred and smoky. Then, combine the tomatoes with some chopped onion, cilantro, and lime juice. You can also add a bit of heat to the salsa by adding some chopped jalapeños.
  • Serve the grilled swordfish with the smoked tomato salsa: Once the swordfish is cooked through, serve it immediately with the smoked tomato salsa. You can also garnish the fish with some fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil. Enjoy!

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish with smoked tomato salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The swordfish is grilled to perfection and the smoked tomato salsa adds a smoky, flavorful topping. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
