GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA



Grilled Swordfish With Smoky Tomato-Anchovy Salsa image

This is a simple summer fish dish with robust flavors. Swordfish would be the first choice, for its meatiness and ease of grilling, but any firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, monkfish, corvina or snapper, is a suitable option. Tuna would also work, but for that matter, so would chicken breast, for those at your gathering who don't eat fish. Topped with an easily made salsa of cherry tomatoes, anchovy, hot pepper and smoky pimentón, the whole affair is rather salad-like, best accompanied by arugula or lettuce leaves. Serve with roasted potatoes or garlic toast for a casual picnic-style summer supper.

4 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks, cut ¾-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)
1 teaspoon tomato paste

Yield Makes 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For swordfish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing pan
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (1-inch-thick) swordfish steak (6 ounces)
For salsa
1 lime
1 (1/4-pound) Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion greens
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño or serrano chile (including seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned ridged grill pan

Steps:

  • Marinate swordfish:
  • Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
  • Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
  • Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grill swordfish:
  • Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh swordfish: Look for swordfish steaks that are firm and have a mild, ocean-like smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Cook the swordfish gently: Swordfish is a delicate fish that can easily become overcooked. Cook it over medium heat for a few minutes per side, or until it is just cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: To add flavor to the swordfish, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Make the strawberry salsa ahead of time: The strawberry salsa can be made up to a day in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the swordfish with a variety of sides: Swordfish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled pineapple, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Swordfish with strawberry salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The swordfish is cooked to perfection and the strawberry salsa adds a refreshing and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
