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.)

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.

GRILLED ROSEMARY SWORDFISH



Grilled Rosemary Swordfish image

My husband loves swordfish, and we have a ton of swordfish recipes because of that. But, this is his favorite way to have it-moist, tender and perked up with herbs. Tuna is a good substitute for swordfish. Its firm texture stands up to grilling. -Lorie Rice, Liverpool, New York

1/4 teaspoon salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish steak. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick, with a firm, opaque flesh. Avoid steaks that are thin or have any brown or yellow discoloration.
  • Make sure the teriyaki marinade is well-balanced. The marinade should be salty, sweet, and savory, with a hint of acidity. If the marinade is too salty, it will overpower the delicate flavor of the swordfish. If the marinade is too sweet, it will burn on the grill. And if the marinade is too acidic, it will toughen the swordfish.
  • Allow the swordfish to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the fish and flavor it throughout. If you don't have time to marinate the fish for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for a shorter period of time, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Grill the swordfish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry. If you grill the fish over high heat, it will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Baste the swordfish with the teriyaki marinade while it is grilling. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. You can also brush the fish with olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the swordfish until it is opaque throughout. You can check the doneness of the fish by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the steak. If the fork comes out clean, the fish is done. If the fork comes out with any pink or red juices, the fish needs to cook for a little longer.

Conclusion:

Grilled teriyaki swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce and then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful fish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the swordfish with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
