NEAPOLITAN PASTA WITH SWORDFISH
The lusty foods and intense wines of southern Italy provide inspiration to spare for cooks and connoisseurs. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, succulent olives, tender pastas and fragrant olive oils, alone or combined, spell sheer enjoyment. The roots of red-sauce Italian, ever popular in the United States, are in the south - in Campania and Naples (its capital city) as well as in Puglia and Basilicata. This recipe is a riff on the traditional pasta alla puttanesca, with tomato, capers, olives and garlic, but without the anchovies. The recipe goes bigger on the fish front, with chunks of seared swordfish to bolster the mixture with meaty, briny notes.

Steps:
- Place a large sauté pan (4 quarts or more) on high heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it's mighty hot (a piece of fish should sizzle) add the swordfish, spreading the pieces around in the pan in a single layer. Sear about 30 seconds until just starting to brown. Use a spatula to turn the fish, and cook another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.
- Add another tablespoon of the oil and the capers and cook a couple of minutes until the capers start to crisp and brown. Turn the heat to low, stir in the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until it barely starts to color. Add the tomatoes and olives. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors, then turn off the heat. While the tomatoes are simmering bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Remove 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the sauté pan.
- Reheat the pasta in the sauce on medium-low heat, folding everything together with a big spoon. Add a half cup or more of the pasta water to give the tomatoes a nice saucelike consistency, stirring until the pasta is well coated. Gently fold in the swordfish and the lemon zest, and stir until you have everything well mixed and heated through. Add more pepper if you wish; the mixture is not likely to demand salt. Transfer to a warm serving dish, scatter parsley on top and serve.

Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

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.

"LUNCHBAG" SWORDFISH WITH MEDITERRANEAN TOMATO SAUCE AND LINGUINI
The recipe makes more tomato sauce than you will need for the fish. It is delicious as a pasta sauce, a topping for bruschetta, or a sauce or side dish for grilled poultry or meat. For the best flavor, use garden fresh tomatoes.

Steps:
- Put tomatoes in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, capers, peppers, olives, lemon juice, pepper oil, and 4 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Stir gently just to mix and set aside at least 1 hour. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Mixture will become more liquid and sauce-like over time.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini until al dente. Drain and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve.
- To cook the fish: (See Chef's Note below if using waxed paper.) Place a small square of parchment or waxed paper at the bottom of each paper bag. Place small pile of linguini in each of the bags. Top with a spoonful of tomato sauce, making sure to moisten the linguini with the juices. Lay a piece of fish on top and arrange with another spoonful of sauce. Moisten again with juices from the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold over the tops of the bags, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
- To serve, transfer the bags to 4 dinner plates and let each diner cut open the package to enjoy the aromas.

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!

Tips:
- Choose fresh swordfish steaks: Look for steaks that are firm and have a mild, slightly briny smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor the fish.
- Grill the swordfish over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the fish and keep the inside moist.
- Cook the swordfish until it is just opaque in the center: Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
- Serve the swordfish immediately with your favorite sides: Grilled swordfish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grilled swordfish is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give grilled swordfish a try!
