Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heirloom tomatoes, small dice
1 jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed if you'd like less heat)
1 small red onion, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 swordfish steaks, skin and bloodline removed

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

SWORDFISH WITH LEMON AND FENNEL



Swordfish With Lemon and Fennel image

This dish is truly clever weeknight cooking - sophisticated, fast, unfussy and wholly delicious. Swordfish is cut into chunks, which cook faster than steaks, and then is sautéed in olive oil, butter or, for the best results, a combination of the two. The fat protects the fish from the heat of the pan, preventing the fish from drying out. It also provides lots of flavor, as do fennel seeds, garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes, which are added to the pan after the fish has cooked for a few minutes. Fennel fronds are a nice garnish, offering their light anise flavor and feathery texture, though you could use chopped fresh basil, parsley or cilantro instead. Cumin or coriander seeds can stand for the fennel seeds, or you can leave them out altogether and double the chile.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds swordfish steaks, about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, more to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh fennel fronds
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the skin off the swordfish, then cut the fish into 1-inch cubes. Season fish cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  • Using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a heavy knife, lightly crush the fennel seeds to release their flavor.
  • In a skillet large enough to hold all the fish cubes in one layer, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the fish to the pan and let cook, turning the fish and basting with the oil and butter, for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, fennel seeds, lemon zest and chile flakes and continue to cook, stirring gently so as not to break up the fish cubes, until the fish is just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Gently stir in the lemon juice. Taste and add more salt and chile flakes if desired. Garnish with fennel fronds and lemon wedges.
