Good Sauce For Grilled Swordfish Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler.
• In a medium nonstick skillet,heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, 2 minutes until onion is slightly softened. Stir in the tomatoes with puree, breaking the fruit up with the side of a spoon. Add the sugar and the pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except fish) and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, grill or broil the fish 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve with sauce on the side.

GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH CUCUMBER SAUCE

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.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROSEMARY-WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish with oil. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine shallots, wine and lemon juice in small saucepan. Boil until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining rosemary. Add 1 piece of butter; whisk until melted. Place pan over low heat; add remaining butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding the next. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, grill fish until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with rosemary-white wine sauce.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SPICY TROPICAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the orange, removing all the bitter white pith and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop the onion. Chop the scallion greens. Set aside.
• In a sauce pan, toss the orange, onion, scallion greens and pineapple along with its juice, tomato paste, garlic, cornstarch, salt, hot pepper flakes and cayenne. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Keep stirring as to not burn. Cook uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Keep stirring.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered until it gets nice and thick, about 10 minutes.
• Cut the swordfish into four steaks.
• Top each steak with 1/4th of the sauce and grill, turning once, for about 12 minutes or until the steaks flake when tested with a fork.
• Note: You can prepare the sauce in advance.

GRILLED SWORDFISH RéMOULADE

Steps:

• Start a wood or charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill (or broiler); the fire should be quite hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. While it's heating, make the mayonnaise and combine it with all the remaining ingredients except the fish. (If you're making the mayonnaise in a food processor or blender, you can save yourself some mincing by adding the garlic at the beginning and pulsing in the other solid ingredients while the sauce is still in the machine.)
• Grill the fish, turning when nicely browned, about 4 or 5 minutes, then cook for 4 or 5 minutes more. The fish is done when just a bit of translucence remains in its center; use a thin-bladed knife to check. Serve hot or cold, with the rémoulade sauce.
