Steps:
- Sprinkle fish with 1/2 teaspoon red pepper, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish; cook until opaque in center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter; cover. Add 1 tablespoon oil and shallots to skillet; sauté over medium heat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/8 teaspoon red pepper, garlic, and olives; sauté 1 minute. Add pine nuts, parsley, and wine; boil until most of liquid is gone, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over fish.
SIMPLY GRILLED BASIL-RUBBED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATO-GREEN OLIVE RELISH
Steps:
- Smash the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and mash and smear it to a paste using the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic paste to a medium bowl along with the anchovy, vinegar, pepper flakes and some salt. Whisk to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped basil and gently stir to combine. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Heat a grill to high. Rub both sides of each swordfish steak with two of the basil leaves, leaving some of the now-bruised basil on top of each steak. Brush the steaks with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, basil-side down, until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout, another 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the relish over the fish.
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH OLIVE, PINE NUT AND GOLDEN RAISIN RELISH AND GRILLED ROMAINE SALAD WITH SUMAC HONEY VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the golden raisins to a small bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate and plump. Remove the raisins but reserve the liquid.
- Heat a small saucepan over low heat with the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pine nuts and reserved raisins and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of the reserved raisin liquid. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and chopped lemon, toss in the chives and season with salt. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a little more of the liquid from the golden raisins. The relish should be thick and homogenous, but not too thin or saucy.
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the swordfish steaks on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the swordfish onto the grill and cook without moving the fish for 2 minutes. When the fish starts to pull away from the pan, you know it's ready to turn. Turn the fish 90 degrees to create a crosshatch. Grill for another 2 minutes. Flip the fish, then repeat on the other side. Remove the fish onto a sheet tray lined with a rack. Transfer into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Drizzle the romaine lettuce with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce onto the grill, cut side down, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, then grill for another 2 minutes. Cut the grilled lettuce into 1-to 2-inch pieces and add to a large bowl along with the radishes and feta cheese.
- Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, honey and sumac to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until emulsified. Season with salt. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the grilled romaine salad. Gently toss to combine. There will be leftover vinaigrette - it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, top the grilled swordfish with some of the olive, pine nut and raisin relish. Drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the grilled romaine lettuce.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality swordfish: Opt for swordfish steaks that are firm and have a fresh, slightly briny aroma. Avoid steaks that appear slimy or have brown spots.
- Season the swordfish simply: Swordfish has a delicate flavor, so it's best to season it simply with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Cook the swordfish over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender.
- Don't overcook the swordfish: Swordfish is a relatively thin fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Serve the swordfish with a flavorful relish: The green olive relish in this recipe is a great way to add flavor and complexity to the dish.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. It's easy to prepare and can be cooked in just a few minutes. The green olive relish adds a flavorful and tangy touch to the dish. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
