Provided by Rebecca Firkser

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (4-6-oz.) swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick)
7 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 large lemon
5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 Tbsp. capers (not drained)
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat four 4-6-oz. swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick) dry with paper towels, then coat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with kosher salt; set aside while you make the dressing.
  • Using a sharp chef's knife, trim ends from 1 large lemon; slice into thick rounds and remove seeds. Very finely chop lemon rounds (peel, pith, and flesh) and transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, you can pulse in a food processor.) Mix in 5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. capers (not drained), 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in 6 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Place reserved swordfish steaks on grill; cover and grill fish, turning once, until flesh is opaque and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130°F for medium-rare) and steaks release easily from grate, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Spoon some dressing over swordfish and serve with remaining dressing alongside. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Grilled Swordfish Steaks with Cucumber Sauce image

This wonderful, tangy sauce really compliments the flavor of grilled swordfish steaks. Serve with the cucumber sauce, and the combination of flavors are wonderful. This is my favorite way to have swordfish. You may add some diced hot peppers or spices if you would prefer some heat. Enjoy!

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and minced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato-based chili sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1 1/2-inches thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Stir the cucumber, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until combined. Season to taste with salt, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chili sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with black pepper, and remove from the heat.
  • Brush the swordfish steaks on all sides with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook on the preheated grill until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and easily flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Baste with the chili sauce while grilling. Serve the swordfish with lemon slices and the cucumber sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh swordfish steaks: Look for steaks that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the swordfish steaks: Marinating the steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the swordfish steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steaks and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the swordfish steaks until they are just cooked through: Overcooking will make the steaks tough and dry.
  • Serve the swordfish steaks immediately: Swordfish is best served hot off the grill or out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Swordfish steaks with lemon parsley sauce is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of the swordfish's mild flavor with the bright and tangy lemon parsley sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. This dish is also a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals.
