SWORDFISH, SICILIAN STYLE

DH and I enjoyed this recipe from Williams-Sonoma last night very much. We cooked in our stovetop grill pan. The recipe made more spice rub than was needed to coat the steaks so we heavily applied. We found that this overpowered the dish a bit, so I would recommend not heavily applying the rub, just use enough to coat. We used kalamata olives for the black olives.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

olive oil, for coating
4 (1/2 lb) swordfish steaks
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon fennel seed, ground in mortar (or a spice grinder)
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper (can use freshly ground black pepper)
1/4 cup pitted sicilian black olives, chopped (can use other black olives)
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juice of
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat and oil the grill rack.
  • Coat the swordfish with olive oil.
  • To make the spice rub, in a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried basil, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and lemon pepper. Sprinkle both sides of each swordfish steak generously with the spice rub.
  • To make the salsa, in a bowl, mix together the olives, tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, cayenne, oil and lemon juice. Taste and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Grill the swordfish directly over high heat, turning once, until grill-marked, firm to the touch and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Arrange the fish steaks on individual plates and top with the salsa or serve it alongside.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest swordfish possible. This will ensure that your dish is as flavorful and delicious as possible.
  • Marinate the swordfish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the swordfish over medium heat until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Serve the swordfish with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon slices, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Swordfish Sicilian Style is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of fresh swordfish, flavorful marinade, and roasted vegetables is sure to please everyone at your table.
