Grilled Swordfish Steaks Salsa Verde Food

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, the thyme and Ottoman spice in a bowl; mix well. Divide the marinade between two 1-gallon zip-top bags, then divide the swordfish between the bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the red onion and jalapeno until marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the red onion to a bowl, top with the vinegar and cover with plastic wrap, trapping the steam inside to finish the cooking process. Peel, seed and chop the jalapeno.
• Make the salsa verde: Combine the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, mint, lime juice and remaining 1 cup olive oil in a bowl. Once cool enough to touch, remove the onion from the vinegar and coarsely chop, then add both the vinegar and the onion to the salsa verde; season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and combine well.
• Remove the swordfish from the marinade, shake off the excess and season with kosher salt. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Grill the swordfish 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and grill 2 more minutes to create crosshatch grill marks, then flip and grill until just opaque, about 2 more minutes. Increase the grill heat to high. Grill the halved lemons and the avocados cut-side down until marked, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Dress the watercress with some of the salsa verde on a platter. Top with the swordfish, avocado and more salsa. Garnish with the grilled lemons. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

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 FISH WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender and combine the ingredients in a jar and blend to a paste.) Add the olive oil and parsley and blend to a purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.
