In a bowl, mix the shallot, chile pepper and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the lime juice and the soy sauce. Season the salsa with sugar, salt and pepper (it should be spicy).

Heat the grill and lightly oil the grates, or heat a grill pan with a little oil and grill the fish about 3 minutes per side. Halve the buns horizontally and brush the lower bun halves with the remaining oil. Grill cut sides down until crispy.

• Light a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or stovetop grill until very hot.

SWORDFISH SANDWICHES RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the Salmoriglio by combining garlic, oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mixing well. I combine them in a jar, close the lid tight and shake it up. This will make more salmoriglio than you need, but the extra can be refrigerated and used later for chicken or fish on the grill.
• Pre-heat grill and set fire to medium.
• Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook turning once until cooked through and lightly browned. About 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill.
• Place the slices of ciabatta bread, crumb side down on the grill and lightly toast. Remove from grill.
• Arrange the arugula on the bottoms of the Ciabatta. Drizzle a little salmoriglio on the arugula, then place a swordfish steak on top. Drizzle more salmoriglio on the swordfish and on the toasted side of the top pieces of ciabatta. Place the salmoriglio soaked tops over the swordfish and serve with extra salmoriglio on the side for your guests to add more if desired.

GRILLED SWORDFISH CLUB

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush the fish on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest for a few minutes.
• Grill the bread on both sides until lightly golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface and spread each slice with a tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Place a fillet on 4 of the slices of bread and top with 3 slices avocado, 1 slice tomato, and some watercress. Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the watercress, mayonnaise side down.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, zest, and juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The lemon mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.

GRILLED SWORDFISH "SANDWICH" WITH GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler to moderately hot and put the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Combine the anchovies, parsley, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small food processor or blender. Process until pureed, adding a little bit of hot water (or more olive oil) if necessary to allow the machine to do its work. Combine the puree with the capers.
• Cut the swordfish in half horizontally, leaving the skin attached as a hinge. Spread about half of the mixture on the inside of the "sandwich," then close the steak with a couple of toothpicks. Brush with the remaining oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill for at least 5 minutes per side, or until the swordfish is done (it should remain slightly translucent in the center). Serve with the remaining green sauce.
