Herb Marinated Swordfish Recipes

HERB MARINATED GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. After cleaning and drying your fish allow it to marinade for 2 - 3 hours {1 hour minimum} in the refrigerator.
• Prepare your grill on high and brush the grates with some olive oil. Place your swordfish steaks on direct heat and cook for about 7 minutes per side. Steaks are done once they've reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees (I use an internal read thermometer like the thermapen to test internal temp).Once they're cooked let them rest before serving them.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH WITH FIRE ROASTED PEPPERS, ONIONS, MUSHROOMS AND HERB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Use to marinate swordfish, salmon, tuna, or red snapper overnight.
• Fresh herb vinaigrette: 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 8 large fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup extravirgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• Combine the vinegar and mustard in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly, then add the herbs. Pulse again until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, add the olive oil very slowly so that the mixture will emulsify into a smooth blend. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. This dressing will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
• 4 6 to 8 ounce swordfish steaks, at least 3/4 inch thick 2 large vidalia onions, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick slices 2 sweet red peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 2 sweet yellow peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 12 large shiitake mushroom caps 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper
• The night before, rub the swordfish steaks with the marinade. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, overnight. The next day, prepare an outdoor grill for cooking. Right before grilling, toss the onions, peppers and mushrooms with the olive oil, salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, grill the swordfish until it is well colored on both sides and the interior is medium (about 3 to 4 minutes per side, total).When you have added the fish to the grill, spread the vegetables along the perimeter of the grill and carefully cook the vegetables without burning. Remove the fish from the grill, plate, drizzle with vinaigrette over the fish, top with vegetables and serve.

HERB-MARINATED GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, garlic, dill, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours; the longer you marinate the fish, the stronger the flavor will be.
• When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove swordfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook swordfish on the preheated grill until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Swordfish cooks very quickly and your grill will flare up with this marinade!

Arrange tomatoes in a shallow nonreactive baking dish and roast, stirring once halfway through and breaking up some with back of spoon, until burst and beginning to collapse, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; roast 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and cover; switch oven to broil.
• Meanwhile, season swordfish with salt and pepper and rub half of herb oil over both sides. Let stand 15 minutes. Arrange fish on a broiler-safe pan and broil, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to dish with tomatoes, slice, and serve, drizzled with remaining herb oil.

LEMON HERB SWORDFISH STEAKS

• In a small bowl combine parsley, chicken broth, lemon peel, lemon juice, rosemary, olive oil, shallot, tarragon, salt and garlic.
• Pour marinade over fish. Seal bag. (If doing OAMC, you would freeze at this point.).

• Turn fish and grill 3-7 minutes more until fish flakes easily with a fork. Discard any remaining marinade.

HERB-MARINATED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the swordfish and season with salt. Add to skillet and cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden underneath and medium throughout (flesh should be opaque, firm and flaky), about 5 minutes longer. Transfer fish to a shallow baking dish.
• To the skillet, add the remaining oil and the capers, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until capers are sizzling vigorously but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in caper brine, lemon juice, pepper, parsley and chives. Pour the caper-herb oil over the fish. Let marinate at room temperature, turning once or twice and occasionally spooning the caper oil over the fish, for 15 minutes.
• Divide fish among plates and drizzle with some of the caper oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
