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!

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED FISH

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (or use 1 tbsp dried basil)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or use 1 tsp dried)

4 fish fillets
4 green olives, chopped (optional)
4 lemon slices (thinly sliced)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Lay down a piece of aluminum foil on the grill to cook on or use a grill pan designed for grilling fish on a BBQ.
  • Heat grill to medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic, basil, parsley and lemon juice.

  • Top each piece of fish with equal amounts of the garlic mixture. Sprinkle with black pepper to your liking.
  • Grill over medium heat turning once until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED FISH



MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED FISH image

Categories     Marinade     Fish     Fourth of July     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Yield servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1.5 pounds of thinly sliced white fish. Flounder, Amber Jack, etc.
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
8 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/3 Cup dry white wine
1 heaping Tablespoon fresh oregano
2 heaping Tablespoons fresh Rosemary
1/3 Cup packed fresh basil
3 Cloves of Garlic (less or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 Cup of lightly toasted pine nuts
Fresh lemon wedges for garnish and finishing

Steps:

  • Finely chop everything, except for the first three ingredients. I use my bullet blender and pulverize the ingredients until very smooth. Place the mixture in a bowl, add the yogurt, and mix well. Cover the fish with the sauce and marinate for one hour in a non-reactive dish. Take the plank out of the water and pat dry. Put the fillets on the plank and keep the marinade on the fish. This will be messy. Slowly grill the fish over a medium heat for 10-20 minutes. Grilling time will depend on the thickness of the plank. Before closing the grill, put the rosemary sprigs on the coals. If you are not using planks, put some aluminum foil on the grill and put the fish on top of the foil to cook. Sprinkle the cedar or oak chips on the grill prior to closing the grill. Grill until the fish is flaky and finished. This will take approximately 10-20 minutes. Drizzle fresh lemon on top - if desired. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Mediterranean fish like sea bass, sea bream, or trout are great for grilling. They have a firm texture and a delicate flavor that pairs well with the marinade.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is essential for adding flavor to the fish. Use ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful mixture. Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat: Medium heat will help to cook the fish evenly without overcooking it. Cook the fish for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish with a variety of sides: Grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes are all great options for serving with grilled fish. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean grilled fish is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a summer meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your grilled fish is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. So fire up the grill and enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean!
