SWORDFISH SKEWERS GLAZED WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil. Lower the heat and reduce the vinegar to about 1/3 cup, and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan with boiling water, add the pearl onions, and cook until soft but still firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove the skins, leaving the root intact and the onion whole.
- In a large bowl, toss the swordfish cubes, onions, and olive oil together. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss again.
- Thread the fish, onions, and bay leaves onto wooden or metal skewers. Divide the ingredients evenly, alternating them on the skewers. Grill the fish skewers for about 1 minute on each side, for a total 4 minutes.
- To serve, drizzle with a little of the balsamic reduction.

Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fennel and cook until slightly soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar and season with kosher salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, garlic and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the onions are tender, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fish: Finely chop the pine nuts by hand. Mix the nuts, lemon zest, parsley, and sea salt and pepper to taste on a cutting board. Pat the swordfish dry and brush with olive oil on both sides. Press the fish into the nut mixture, turning to coat.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat. When the oil shimmers, lay the fish in the pan and cook, undisturbed, until golden on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until just golden on the other side, 3 to 4 more minutes. Using tongs, lay each swordfish steak on its side to sear the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Turn the fish so the lighter side is down and cook until just firm to the touch, 6 to 8 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
- While the fish rests, finish the vegetables: Add the tomatoes, oregano, capers and brine to the onions and cook until the tomatoes soften, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Slice the fish and divide among plates. Spoon the vegetables and juices onto the plates. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil.

GRILLED SWORDFISH "SANDWICH" WITH GREEN SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat a grill or broiler to moderately hot and put the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Combine the anchovies, parsley, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small food processor or blender. Process until pureed, adding a little bit of hot water (or more olive oil) if necessary to allow the machine to do its work. Combine the puree with the capers.
- Cut the swordfish in half horizontally, leaving the skin attached as a hinge. Spread about half of the mixture on the inside of the "sandwich," then close the steak with a couple of toothpicks. Brush with the remaining oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill for at least 5 minutes per side, or until the swordfish is done (it should remain slightly translucent in the center). Serve with the remaining green sauce.

Steps:
- Brine the fish: Combine kosher salt and 2 cups water in a large mixing bowl and stir to dissolve the salt; add ice. Place the swordfish fillets in the brine and leave for 1 hour. Remove the fish from the brine, dip briefly in salt-free ice water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Lay the fish out flat on parchment-lined baking sheets; cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours (ideally). This step is optional. Prepare the grapes and onions: Heat 3 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Add the onion slices, garlic, rosemary, vinegar and honey; cook until the onions soften, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat to low and season the onions with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the grapes, cover the skillet again and cook until they begin to split, about 5 minutes. Grill the fish: Meanwhile, cut out the bloodlines on the fish if necessary. Brush the swordfish with the remaining olive oil and season with more salt and pepper. Grill or broil the fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Plate the dish: Discard the rosemary sprigs and smashed garlic from the sautéed grape mixture, then spoon some onto each of warmed warmed plates. Top with swordfish, garnish with a bit of fresh rosemary and a drizzle of the accumulated pan juice and serve immediately.

- Select the Right Swordfish: Choose fresh or frozen swordfish steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the Swordfish: Marinate the swordfish steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
- Grill the Swordfish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the swordfish steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flaky when it is done.
- Make the Sweet and Sour Sauce: While the swordfish is grilling, make the sweet and sour sauce. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the Swordfish: Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with the sweet and sour sauce. You can also garnish the dish with sliced green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds.
Grilled swordfish with sweet and sour sauce is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a summer cookout.
