SWORDFISH MARINATED IN LEMON, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried leaves
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (about 1/2 pound each)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
Lemon wedges for garnish
4 strips (1/2 by 3-inches) lemon zest

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.

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 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.

Categories     Fish     Low Carb     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 swordfish steaks
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
(optional)
4 slices lemon, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a glass baking dish, combine the garlic, white wine, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix just to blend. Place swordfish steaks into the marinade, and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning frequently. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. 3. Grill swordfish steaks for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish. Look for fish that is firm to the touch, with no signs of bruising or discoloration. The flesh should be a deep pink or red color.
  • Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the proteins in the fish.
  • Cook the swordfish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out. Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the swordfish immediately. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

Swordfish is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Marinating the fish before cooking helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Swordfish can be grilled, baked, or pan-fried. It is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
