Grilled Swordfish Vegetable Skewers Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH VEGETABLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Rinse the parsley, shake dry and pluck off the leaves. Peel garlic. Mash coarsely with oil, white wine, almonds, thyme, oregano and season with salt.
• Cut swordfish into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and halve the tomatoes. Halve bell peppers, trim, rinse and cut into pieces. Rinse celery, trim and cut into smaller pieces.
• Thread fish alternately with tomatoes, bell peppers and celery on skewers. Season with salt and pepper, brush with marinade, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Line a barbecue grill with aluminum foil or an aluminum grill pan and cook the skewers on all sides for 6 minutes.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• In a glass baking dish, combine the garlic, white wine, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix just to blend. Place swordfish steaks into the marinade, and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning frequently.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill swordfish steaks for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

GRILLED OR BROILED SKEWERED SWORDFISH CHUNKS WITH SALMORIGLIO

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat a broiler; the fire should be quite hot and the rack about 3 inches from the heat source. Thread the fish onto 4 skewers (it will be easier to turn the fish if you use 2 skewers per kebab, for a total of 8 skewers, 4 kebabs). Brush the fish with a little olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
• Combine the remaining oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano in a small food processor and puree; the mixture should be smooth (scrape down the sides of the container if necessary). Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
• Grill or broil the fish, turning as each side browns, a bit more than 2 minutes per side. Swordfish is best cooked until tender but not dry; when a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center meets only a little resistance, it's done. Drizzle with the salmoriglio, garnish with the parsley, and serve.

• It's nice to enhance the sauce with a tablespoon or 2 of capers when you do it this way: Use 2 steaks, each about a pound. Put a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and wait a couple of minutes. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and cook the fish until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes; turn and cook until the fish is done. Serve with the sauce.
