Grilled Swordfish Salad Food

GRILLED SWORDFISH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
• Lightly brush the swordfish steaks and mango slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Cook the swordfish steaks on preheated grill until lightly browned on both sides, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes per side. After turning, arrange mangos slices over the steaks, and cook 5 minutes more.
• Toss the spinach, tomatoes, and kumquats together in a bowl. Whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl until well blended. Pour over the spinach mixture and toss to coat evenly. To serve, divide the salad among 4 serving plates, and top with swordfish and mangoes.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CANDIED LEMON SALAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemon segments and simmer for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the lemons in the liquid. Using a slotted spoon, remove the segments from the liquid and reserve both for later use.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard and 2 tablespoons of the reserved lemon liquid. Whisk in the olive oil, basil and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Reserve half of the dressing for the fish. Add the arugula, olives and reserved lemon segments to the dressing but do not toss. Set aside.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Dry the fish well using paper towels and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the olive oil. Grill the steaks until golden brown and the fish release easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the steaks. Toss the salad in the dressing and add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place a piece of fish on each plate and top with some of the salad. Spoon the reserved dressing around the fish.

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 WITH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
• While the grill's heating, pat the fish dry and make the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons neutral oil, sesame oil and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chives and cilantro on top (don't stir them in), and season with salt and pepper.
• When you're ready to grill, pat the fish dry again, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon salt and lightly coat with oil. Take the fish, salad, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, tongs, a fish spatula and a serving platter to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the fish until well browned on one side and it releases easily from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip with a fish spatula and cook until it registers 130 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.)
• Transfer to the platter. Toss the salad to combine, then top the fish right away with the salad, spooning extra dressing over the fish. Let rest for 5 minutes before eating. Season to taste with flaky salt, pepper and sesame oil.

GRILLED SWORDFISH "NICOISE" SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil then season with a tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until just crisp tender. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit in the ice water for a few minutes, and then drain well.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and season with 1 tablespoon of salt and cook until almost cooked through (a knife or skewer inserted into the center goes in with a little resistance). Drain well and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, cut side down and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and grill until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Place cooked beans, grilled potatoes, tomatoes, and onions, in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the swordfish.
• Add swordfish cubes to salad, toss to combine, and divide among 4 plates. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon torn parsley.
• Heat grill to high.
• Combine spices and salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush both sides of swordfish with oil and season with a little salt. Rub 1 side of each steak with 1/4 of the spice mixture. Place swordfish on the grill, spice side down and cook until slightly charred and a crust has formed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes. Dice swordfish into bite-size pieces.
• Whisk together vinegar, honey, garlic and anchovy paste and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and set aside.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

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

Steps:

• Pat the swordfish dry on both sides. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a snug, even layer, place the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Zest in both of the lemons, then juice 1 of the lemons into the marinade. Whisk to combine. Slice the second lemon in half crosswise and reserve for grilling.
• Add the swordfish steaks to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes (do not let sit more than 20 minutes, or the acid will start to break down the fish). Halfway through, flip the swordfish over.
• Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F; you can also cook the fish under the oven broiler). Scrape the grill grates very clean, then oil to prevent sticking. Grill the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, just until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and cover. Let rest 10 minutes.
• At the same time you are grilling the swordfish, grill the lemon halves by placing them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until char marks appear, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle the rested swordfish with herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Enjoy hot.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH OLIVE, PINE NUT AND GOLDEN RAISIN RELISH AND GRILLED ROMAINE SALAD WITH SUMAC HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the golden raisins to a small bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate and plump. Remove the raisins but reserve the liquid.
• Heat a small saucepan over low heat with the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pine nuts and reserved raisins and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of the reserved raisin liquid. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and chopped lemon, toss in the chives and season with salt. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a little more of the liquid from the golden raisins. The relish should be thick and homogenous, but not too thin or saucy.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the swordfish steaks on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the swordfish onto the grill and cook without moving the fish for 2 minutes. When the fish starts to pull away from the pan, you know it's ready to turn. Turn the fish 90 degrees to create a crosshatch. Grill for another 2 minutes. Flip the fish, then repeat on the other side. Remove the fish onto a sheet tray lined with a rack. Transfer into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Drizzle the romaine lettuce with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce onto the grill, cut side down, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, then grill for another 2 minutes. Cut the grilled lettuce into 1-to 2-inch pieces and add to a large bowl along with the radishes and feta cheese.
• Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, honey and sumac to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until emulsified. Season with salt. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the grilled romaine salad. Gently toss to combine. There will be leftover vinaigrette - it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, top the grilled swordfish with some of the olive, pine nut and raisin relish. Drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the grilled romaine lettuce.
