Grilled Swordfish With Salsa Verde Food

GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together a marinade of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place the swordfish in a non-reactive bowl or a plastic container and toss with the marinade, to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
• To make the salsa verde, place the parsley (or basil), capers, anchovies, 1 teaspoon garlic, mustard and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Gradually pour in the remaining 3/4 cup olive oil while whisking. The salsa verde can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated, covered. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and 2-6 minutes on side two, depending on the thickness of the steaks. The pink flesh will turn white as the fish cooks. To prevent over-cooking, check the fish after it cooks for 1 minute on the second side and every minute thereafter (make a small cut to check for doneness). When it's mostly cooked through but still slightly pink in the center, it's ready to come off the grill. Transfer it to a platter, tent it with foil, and leave it for 5 minutes to finish cooking in the gentle heat under the foil.
• Serve immediately with the salsa verde spooned on top.

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.

(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.

FISH WITH GRILLED SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Light a grill. (If you are lighting charcoal, use plenty of it.) Season the fish with the cayenne, salt it liberally and return it to the refrigerator. When the grill is hot, cook the tomatillos, jalapeño and onion slices, taking them off the heat when they are soft and charred. Remove the skin and seeds from the jalapeño and roughly purée it with the tomatillos in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a serving bowl. Chop the onion slices and stir them into the salsa verde with the cilantro. Season well with salt.
• When the fire has burned down to a medium heat (if you are using gas, simply turn down the flame), oil the fish and the grate. Grill the fish flesh side down first, turning once, until cooked through. The time will vary depending on the kind of fish and the heat of the fire but should not take more than 10 minutes. Thin the salsa with ¼ cup water until the consistency is more like Thanksgiving gravy than applesauce, and pass the bowl of salsa at the table.
