Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1/4 red onions or 1/4 yellow sweet onion, cut into thin vertical slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (each steak should be about 1/2 lb. each)
lime wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
  • Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.
  • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Grill or broil the fish steaks about 3 inches from heat source for 5-7 minutes (time depends on how hot the heat source is), or until lightly browned on one side.
  • Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
  • Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak--fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.
  • Serve steaks on individual plates with lime wedge for garnish.
  • I like to squeeze the lime wedge over the fish for extra POW.

Grilled Swordfish Recipe with a Mediterranean Twist image

Easy grilled swordfish recipe that utilizes a delicious Mediterranean marinade with cumin, fresh garlic cloves and more. But you don't even need to leave it in the marinade too long! Just a few minutes while your grill is heating!

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 12 garlic cloves, peeled
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, more for later
1 tsp coriander
3/4 tsp cumin
1/2 to 1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 swordfish steaks, about 5 to 6 ounces each, from sustainable sources
Crushed red pepper, optional

Steps:

  • In a food processor, blend the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper for about three minutes or until well-combined forming a thick and smooth marinade.
  • Pat the swordfish steaks dry and place them in a pan (or a dish with sides to it) and apply the marinade generously on both sides and set aside for 15 minutes or so while you heat the grill.
  • Preheat a gas grill on high (be sure to oil the grates before using). When ready, grill the fish steaks on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, turn over once and grill on the other side for 3 minutes or so (the fish should flake easily, while maintain firmness. You will likely see a bit of pink on the inside, but it should cook through by the time it gets to the table).
  • Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like heat. Enjoy!

GRILLED SWORDFISH



Grilled Swordfish image

How to cook moist grilled swordfish with a simple, flavorful lemon herb marinade. A quick, healthy meal great for weeknight dinner or company.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6- to 8-ounce) swordfish steaks (1-inch thick)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 medium lemons (divided)
Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for serving)
Kosher salt (for serving)
Oil (for grilling)

Steps:

  • Pat the swordfish dry on both sides. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a snug, even layer, place the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Zest in both of the lemons, then juice 1 of the lemons into the marinade. Whisk to combine. Slice the second lemon in half crosswise and reserve for grilling.
  • Add the swordfish steaks to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes (do not let sit more than 20 minutes, or the acid will start to break down the fish). Halfway through, flip the swordfish over.
  • Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F; you can also cook the fish under the oven broiler). Scrape the grill grates very clean, then oil to prevent sticking. Grill the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, just until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and cover. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • At the same time you are grilling the swordfish, grill the lemon halves by placing them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until char marks appear, about 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the rested swordfish with herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Enjoy hot.

1/4 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried oregano

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS



Grilled Marinated Swordfish Steaks image

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.)

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 center-cut swordfish steaks, about 6 ounces each, one-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
4 sprigs rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

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.

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

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish: Swordfish is a meaty fish with a mild flavor, making it a great choice for marinating. Look for swordfish that is firm to the touch and has a bright, shiny appearance.
  • Make sure the marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what gives the swordfish its flavor, so make sure it is packed with flavor. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the fish marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the fish for a shorter period of time, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat: Swordfish is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it over medium heat. This will prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the fish with a variety of sides: Swordfish is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Grilled cumin-marinated swordfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade gives the fish a flavorful crust, while the grilling process keeps the fish moist and tender. Serve the swordfish with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or rice, for a complete and satisfying meal.
