Categories     Fish     Dinner

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 teaspoons drained capers, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Four 8-ounce swordfish steaks, cut 1 inch thick
Arugula and Endive Salad with Pine Nuts and Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Light a grill. In a small bowl, blend the butter with the basil, capers and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and refrigerate. In a large, shallow dish, mix the olive oil with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season the swordfish with salt and pepper and turn the fish in the olive oil mixture. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Grill the swordfish steaks over a hot fire until nicely charred on the outside and just cooked within, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to plates, top each with a dollop of basil-caper butter and serve right away, with the Arugula and Endive Salad with Pine Nuts and Parmesan. MAKE AHEAD The basil-caper butter can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

I'm allergic to capers. Can I substitute something else?

I had trouble finding swordfish at my local grocery store. I ended up using salmon instead, and it turned out great.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.
