Grilled Swordfish With Pesto Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH BASIL PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high.
• While grill preheats, pat swordfish steaks dry and season both sides with salt. Rub a thin layer of basil pesto over both sides of the steaks.
• Once the grill is hot, grill steaks for 3 minutes. Flip, and grill for 3 more minutes. Serve immediately, adding herb garnish if desired.

GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH OLIVE PESTO

Steps:

• Arrange swordfish steaks in a shallow baking dish, season well with salt and pepper, and coat with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Let marinate at room temperature for up to 1 hour, until ready to grill. (Or marinate longer in the refrigerator, and return fish to room temperature before grilling.)
• Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Meanwhile, to make pesto, combine olives, garlic, arugula, parsley, oregano, and salt to taste in the bowl of a food processor. With machine on pulse, slowly add remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water, pulsing, until coarsely pureed. Set aside.
• Place fish and leeks on grill. Cook for about 5 minutes; remove leeks from grill, then turn fish. Cook fish for another 5 minutes or until nearly cooked through; remove from grill, and transfer to a shallow serving dish.
• Arrange leeks on a serving platter, and place fish on top. Spoon pesto over hot fish, turning fish to coat well. Pour juices over fish, and serve.

HEALTHY PESTO-TOPPED GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Spread the pesto all over the swordfish steaks, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. While the fish marinates, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two, until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and sauté until the skins are lightly blistered and about to pop, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Season the fish all over with salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, cook the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked all the way through and the flesh flakes with gentle pressure. Reheat the tomatoes and top each steak with a scoop.
