Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces fresh figs
1 tablespoon minced capers
Zest of 1 lemon, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and fresh black pepper to taste
1 large or 2 smaller swordfish steaks, a total of 1 1/2 to 2 pounds (tuna may be substituted)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped basil

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or the broiler. The fire should be moderately hot, and the rack set about 4 inches from the heat.
  • Gently rinse and stem the figs; chop them into about 1/4-inch pieces, being sure to catch all the juice. Toss in a bowl with the capers, lemon zest and juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside while you cook the fish.
  • Brush or rub the fish with the remaining oil, season it with salt and pepper and grill it, turning once, for a total of 6 to 12 minutes. (Swordfish is done when firm and almost opaque throughout; tuna can be cooked to any degree of doneness you like.)
  • Just before serving, add the herbs to the fig relish; then taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the fish with the fig relish spooned on top.
