GRILLED ROSEMARY SWORDFISH
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

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS
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.)

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 marinade 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 on to 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.

Tips:
- To ensure the swordfish is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently turn it over halfway through the cooking time.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the swordfish in a skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to grease the skillet well to prevent the fish from sticking.
- For a more flavorful marinade, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme or oregano to the mixture.
- If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the swordfish onto them. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Serve the swordfish with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
