Swordfish Recipes Grilled With Lemon

GRILLED SWORDFISH RECIPE WITH A MEDITERRANEAN TWIST

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper for about three minutes or until well-combined forming a thick and smooth marinade.
• Pat the swordfish steaks dry and place them in a pan (or a dish with sides to it) and apply the marinade generously on both sides and set aside for 15 minutes or so while you heat the grill.
• Preheat a gas grill on high (be sure to oil the grates before using). When ready, grill the fish steaks on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, turn over once and grill on the other side for 3 minutes or so (the fish should flake easily, while maintain firmness. You will likely see a bit of pink on the inside, but it should cook through by the time it gets to the table).
• Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like heat. Enjoy!

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON-BASIL BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat.
• Cut each swordfish steak in half, drizzle with lemon juice and let stand for 1 minute. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, salt and pepper and set aside.
• Place the butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and basil in a small bowl and combine well. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Oil the grill grates and add the fish. Grill the swordfish steaks until opaque throughout, 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes per side. To avoid drying out the fish, do not leave unattended.
• Top each piece of fish with about 1 tablespoon of the lemon-basil butter just as it comes off the grill. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Stir wine, garlic, and 1 teaspoon rosemary together in an 8 inch square baking dish. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place in the baking dish, turning to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, olive oil, and remaining rosemary. Set aside.
• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined dish, and discard marinade. Lightly oil grill grate to prevent sticking. Grill fish 10 minutes, turning once, or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork. Remove fish to a serving plate. Spoon lemon sauce over the fish, and top each fillet with a slice of lemon for garnish.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON, MINT AND BASIL

Steps:

• Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Whisk the oil, mint, lemon juice, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Season the lemon and olive oil mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Brush the swordfish steaks with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture. Grill the steaks until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steaks). Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Brush swordfish with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill or broiler 3-5 minutes until browned outside and just opaque throughout.
• While fish is grilling, in a small saucepan, combine butter, lemon juice, capers, garlic and salt.
• Heat on grill or stovetop until butter is melted and flavors have combined, 2-3 minutes.
• Serve swordfish with butter sauce spooned on top.

LEMON THYME SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Place the swordfish in a shallow bowl.
• Whisk the lemon juice, shallots, garlic, mustard, oil and thyme in a small bowl; season with the pepper.
• Pour over the swordfish.
• Marinate, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes, or in the fridge for several hours.
• Set up your gas or charcoal grill and brush the grill rack with oil.
• Arrange the swordfish on the rack; grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until seared on the outside and cooked through.

SICILIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or stovetop grill until very hot.
• For the sauce, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until almost cooked through. Remove to a flat dish, prick holes in the fish with the tines of a fork, and pour the lemon sauce over the fish while it¿s still hot. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• When ready to serve, place the swordfish on dinner plates or a serving platter, pile the arugula on top, drizzle with the sauce from the fish, and sprinkle with the grated lemon zest. Serve warm.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON, DILL & CUCUMBER SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the cucumber in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and the sugar, toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the olive oil, dill, shallot, and mint, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Taste for seasoning again just before serving and adjust if necessary.
• Clean and oil the grates on a gas grill and heat the grill to medium high, or prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire.
• Meanwhile, generously coat both sides of the swordfish with the oil and season both sides with salt. Let the fish sit at room temperature for 15 minutes (while the grill heats). Grill the swordfish steaks directly over the heat source (covered on a gas grill, uncovered on a charcoal grill), without touching, until they have good grill marks, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and grill until the second sides have good grill marks and the fish is done to your liking, another 2 to 4 minutes. (Check for doneness by slicing into one of the thicker pieces.) Serve immediately, topped with the cucumber sauce.

EASY LEMON-BUTTER SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Pat the swordfish dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high until shimmering and very hot. Add the swordfish and cook for six minutes. Flip and cook an additional six minutes. The swordfish should be at about 135ºF at this point.
• Add the butter to the skillet with the swordfish and cook until melted and frothy. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, herbs, and minced garlic. Reduce heat to medium and cook until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Once the fish reaches 145ºF, turn off the heat.
• Add the fish to a serving plate and spoon the sauce over top. Garnish with two slices of lemon. Enjoy!
