SWORDFISH MARINATED IN LEMON, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, oil, rosemary and garlic on a large, shallow platter or a tray large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer. Add the swordfish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Brush the grill or broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Just before serving time, preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the swordfish to grill or broiler pan, reserve the marinade left on the platter. If broiling, adjust the oven rack so that the tops of the fish are about 3 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks. Broil until lightly browned and the center of the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve garnished with capers and lemon wedges.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS
Swordfish, with its firm, lean flesh, is an ideal candidate for grilling. It's not as forgiving as some fatty fish, like tuna and black sea bass, so proceed with caution. If you remove the fish from the fire when the center is still slightly pink, by the time it gets to the table it should be cooked through. A quick marinade of soy sauce, red wine vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander and cumin pairs beautifully with the meatiness of the fish, but do not marinate for more than 10 to 15 minutes, or the acid will break down the flesh and leave it mushy (or the flavor will overpower the fish). If you don't have a grill, this works equally well in a broiler. Serve this alongside a colorful pile of Pierre Franey's green bean and tomato salad. It's a summer meal you'll never forget. (Swordfish is on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood watch list, but you can find sustainable options here.)

Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
- Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
- If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

Steps:
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, garlic, dill, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours; the longer you marinate the fish, the stronger the flavor will be.
- When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove swordfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Cook swordfish on the preheated grill until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Swordfish cooks very quickly and your grill will flare up with this marinade!

HERB-MARINATED SWORDFISH
Swordfish steaks are meaty in texture yet delicate in flavor and best when cooked to medium, so that the flesh is firm but still juicy. (Like many proteins, it can get tough if overcooked.) Rather than marinating in advance, here the fish is marinated after cooking: Cooked in a skillet until golden, the steaks are then left to soak up a piquant pan sauce while warm. The sauce imparts the punchy flavors of briny capers and citrus, while the olive oil keeps the steaks moist. Serve with a simple salad or with crusty bread for sopping up the juices.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the swordfish and season with salt. Add to skillet and cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden underneath and medium throughout (flesh should be opaque, firm and flaky), about 5 minutes longer. Transfer fish to a shallow baking dish.
- To the skillet, add the remaining oil and the capers, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until capers are sizzling vigorously but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in caper brine, lemon juice, pepper, parsley and chives. Pour the caper-herb oil over the fish. Let marinate at room temperature, turning once or twice and occasionally spooning the caper oil over the fish, for 15 minutes.
- Divide fish among plates and drizzle with some of the caper oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh swordfish. This will ensure that the fish is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade should be packed with herbs, spices, and citrus. Some good options include lemon-herb marinade, garlic-herb marinade, or a spicy chili-lime marinade.
- Grill the swordfish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
- Cook the swordfish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked swordfish will be dry and tough.
- Serve the swordfish immediately. It is best enjoyed hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Marinated swordfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your swordfish is tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
