GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA
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.

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.

Steps:
- Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add tomatoes and blanch 30 seconds. Drain. Transfer to medium bowl. Cover with cold water; cool. Peel tomatoes. Cut in half; squeeze out juices. Chop tomatoes; transfer to bowl. Add herbs, shallot, vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
- Prepare barbeque (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush fish with oil. Sprinkle with generous amount of peppercorns and salt. Grill until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Spoon tomato salsa over and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality swordfish fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly pinkish color. Avoid fillets that are soft, slimy, or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the swordfish fillets for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out during grilling.
- Grill the swordfish fillets over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the fillets and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the swordfish fillets until they are just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make the fillets tough and dry.
- Serve the grilled swordfish fillets immediately. They can be paired with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with tomatoes and oregano is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The swordfish is grilled to perfection and then topped with a flavorful tomato and oregano sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
