SWORDFISH KABOBS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE
Steps:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water in a casserole dish or baking sheet for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; oil the grill grates with olive oil.
- Mix the balsamic, lemon juice and mustard in a small bowl. Add the olive oil in a slow stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thread the fish, fennel and tomatoes onto 8 skewers, alternating between fish and vegetables. There should be roughly 3 pieces of fish per skewer. Season all sides of each skewer with salt and pepper. Brush the balsamic mixture over all the skewers.
- Add the skewers to the grill and cook until there are clear grill marks on the flame side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the skewers and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Continue to rotate the skewers and cook on each side until all sides are cooked and have a slight char.
- Serve hot!

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. In a small food processor or blender, combine anchovies, parsley, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tablespoons oil. Process until puréed, adding a little bit of hot water (or more oil) if necessary to allow the machine to do its work. Stir the capers into the purée.
- Cut swordfish steaks in half horizontally, leaving the skin attached as a hinge. Spread about half the parsley mixture on the inside, then close the steak with a couple of toothpicks. Brush with remaining oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill or broil 6 or 7 minutes a side, or until the swordfish is done (swordfish is best when it is still slightly pearly, or you can cook it until it is flaky and well done). Serve with remaining green sauce.

Tips
- To ensure the swordfish is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently flip it over halfway through the cooking time.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the swordfish. If necessary, cook the fish in batches to prevent steaming.
- If you do not have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- If you find that the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or chicken broth.
- Serve the swordfish immediately with the balsamic brown butter sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
