Grilled Swordfish With Eggplant And Pepper Salad Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH POTATO-CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the fish: Whisk the garlic, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, honey, thyme, cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the fish and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the potato salad: Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Toast the cumin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, about1 minute; transfer to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and chorizo to the skillet and cook until the chorizo just begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remove the skillet from the heat; reserve the drippings.
• Add the vinegar and herbs to the bowl with the cumin, then whisk in the chorizo drippings. Add the celery, piquillo peppers, potatoes and chorizo; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill to high; brush the grates lightly with vegetable oil. Place the swordfish on the grill and brush with some of the marinade from the bowl. Grill until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Divide among plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the potato salad.

GRILLED SWORDFISH AND EGGPLANT SALAD WITH HONEY-THYME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, chopped thyme and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the eggplant, poblanos and bell pepper with canola oil, scatter over some of the whole thyme leave sand season with salt and pepper. Grill the poblanos and bell pepper until charred all over and somewhat tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam. Continue to grill the eggplant until charred on both sides and tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Brush the swordfish on all sides with canola oil, scatter the remaining whole thyme leaves on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the swordfish until charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
• Peel, seed and dice the poblanos and bell pepper and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the watercress. Pour some of the dressing around the sides of the bowl, and toss to dress the vegetables.
• Put the fish on a large platter. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and top with the salad. Serve.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH EGGPLANT-AND-PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing for the salad: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, chopped thyme, ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is creamy and emulsified.
• Grill the vegetables: Build a two-level fire on a charcoal grill--high heat on one side and medium heat on the other (if using gas grill, set one side to high heat and the other side to medium heat). Brush the eggplants, poblano and bell pepper with the 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Scatter the 1 teaspoon of whole thyme leaves over the vegetables, and season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of the salt and ½ teaspoon of the pepper.
• Grill the poblano and bell pepper over high heat until charred on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the poblano and the red pepper to a medium bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set aside until cool enough to peel, seed and finely chop. Meanwhile, grill the eggplants until charred on both sides and tender, about 5 minutes (if the eggplants get too dark too quickly, move them to the cooler side of the grill). Transfer the eggplants to a cutting board.
• Grill the fish: Brush both sides of the swordfish with 1 tablespoon of the canola oil, then season with the 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and the 1 teaspoon of pepper. Sprinkle both sides with the 1 teaspoon of whole thyme leaves. Using tongs, dip a folded paper towel into the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil, then use it to grease the grill grates. Grill the swordfish over high heat until charred on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the swordfish to the cooler side of the grill and continue to grill until the fish is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes longer for a 1½-inch-thick steak (if your piece of fish is thinner or thicker, adjust the grilling time accordingly).
• While the swordfish grills, chop the eggplants into bite-size pieces and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the finely chopped poblano and bell pepper and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Add the watercress and pour about half of the dressing over the salad, gently tossing to coat. Taste and season with more salt or pepper as needed. Place the fish on a large platter. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the fish and serve with the eggplant-pepper salad.

SWORDFISH WITH CARAMELIZED EGGPLANT AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Set a broiler rack 4 inches from the heat source, and heat the broiler. If grilling, heat your grill.
• In a large bowl or on a rimmed baking sheet, toss eggplant with just enough oil to coat, and season with salt. Broil or grill until golden all over and charred in spots, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• As eggplant broils, or after you've grilled it, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons oil, and, when it's hot, add onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onion is lightly browned in spots and soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup water, and simmer until the tomato breaks down and turns saucy, about 5 minutes. If the pan starts to dry out, add a splash of water.
• Add eggplant to the pan, along with a drizzle of oil, and turn heat to medium-low. Cook until the mixture is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and season with more salt, if needed, and plenty of pepper. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggplant mixture to a bowl and set aside. Raise heat to medium.
• Without wiping out the pan, add butter and let it melt. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, olives, capers and a small pinch of salt, and bring to a simmer. Add swordfish, and let cook, gently turning the pieces with a spoon so they don't fall apart, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return eggplant mixture to the pan and gently stir in parsley. Heat until the mixture bubbles, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon or lime, if you like, and serve immediately.
