Swordfish Fruit Kabobs Recipes

CITRUS MARINATED SWORDFISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the swordfish steak into 16 bite sized cubes (4 used per skewer). Cut the bell peppers and onion into approximate 2" wedges (about the same size as the swordfish cubes).
• Thread swordfish and vegetables onto skewers, alternating vegetables and fish. If you are grillng indoors on flat surface, no need to treat skewers. If grilling outside and using wood skewers, you will need to soak the wooden skewers for 30 minutes, (fully submerged in water) prior to adding fish and veggies, to prevent burning once over an open flame.
• Mix together the ingredients for the citrus marinade. Brush sauce onto the kabobs, covering both swordfish and veggies. Turn kabobs to brush both sides with sauce. Let the kabobs sit and "marinate" in the sauce for a bit, while you get your outside BBQ started or heat up your griddle.
• Heat griddle (or outside BBQ) with a tiny bit of oil on medium high heat. Once hot, add kabobs. You should hear them sizzle once they hit the grill. Cook for several minutes, then rotate kabobs to other side. Continue cooking (turning to cook all sides), and basting with additional sauce, until swordfish is seared on the outside, and cooked through (6-8 minutes). TIP: If a piece of the fish isn't fully touching the griddle, simply use a fork to lightly press it down, to ensure a crisp seared exterior. Sometimes the veggies prevent a few piecesfrom being seared on outside; this is the best way I've found to solve that issue.
• Once kabobs are fully cooked through, carefully remove them from the grill, and serve! Enjoy!

LEMON PEPPER GRILLED SWORDFISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut swordfish into 1-inch cubes then add to a resealable plastic bag. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, anchovy paste and thyme to the bag then seal. Gently massage the bag until the marinade is well mixed and the fish coated. Place the bag onto a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, submerge the skewers in water so they soak.
• After 1 hour, heat grill to medium-high heat (or place a grill pan over medium heat).
• Divide the swordfish cubes between each skewer then grill until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving plate and squeeze lemon juice over the fish.

SWORDFISH KABOBS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water in a casserole dish or baking sheet for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; oil the grill grates with olive oil.
• Mix the balsamic, lemon juice and mustard in a small bowl. Add the olive oil in a slow stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thread the fish, fennel and tomatoes onto 8 skewers, alternating between fish and vegetables. There should be roughly 3 pieces of fish per skewer. Season all sides of each skewer with salt and pepper. Brush the balsamic mixture over all the skewers.
• Add the skewers to the grill and cook until there are clear grill marks on the flame side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the skewers and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Continue to rotate the skewers and cook on each side until all sides are cooked and have a slight char.
• Serve hot!

• On each of six long metal skewers, arrange 4 lemon wedges, 3 bay leaves, 3 pieces of fish, and 2 tomatoes. Kabobs can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for up to 6 hours before cooking.
• Heat grill to medium hot. Sprinkle kabobs with the salt and pepper, and spoon glaze over them. Grill until fish is opaque to the center and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side; brush with glaze several times while cooking. Remove skewers, and serve.
