Lemon Thyme Swordfish Food

LEMON THYME SWORDFISH WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until creamy. Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl, and stir in the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon juice, parsley, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the fish in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour the water and the remaining lemon juice into the dish. Place the bay leaf in the water, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme over the fish. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.
• Meanwhile, place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• When fish is done, transfer to a serving platter and arrange the asparagus next to the fish. Serve with the cottage cheese sauce.

GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Place the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl or resealable bag. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
• Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade for later use. Add the garlic to the marinade and stir.
• Add the swordfish to the marinade.
• Cover the bowl or seal the bag, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
• Remove the swordfish from the marinade and scrape off any excess bits of herbs or garlic (otherwise they could burn on the grill!).
• Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium high heat. Add the swordfish steaks and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until swordfish is opaque throughout.
• Brush the reserved marinade over the fish, then serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.

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!

LEMON SOY SWORDFISH WITH AVOCADO BUTTER

Steps:

• Fish:.
• Combine first 6 ingredients in a large ziploc bag. Add swordfish steaks. Refrigerate for 1-3 hours, turning a few times.
• To cook, place fish on a preheated broiler pan. Broil 5-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• You may also barbeque this. If you do brush it with the marinade often.
• Serve hot with avocado butter, lemon wedges and fresh parsley sprigs.
• Avocado Butter:.
• In a small mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer until soft and creamy. Beat in remaining ingredients.
• Place in a decorative dish and refrigerate until firm and ready to use. A melon baller works great to scoop out balls to place on the hot fish.

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 MARINATED IN LEMON, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, oil, rosemary and garlic on a large, shallow platter or a tray large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer. Add the swordfish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Brush the grill or broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Just before serving time, preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the swordfish to grill or broiler pan, reserve the marinade left on the platter. If broiling, adjust the oven rack so that the tops of the fish are about 3 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks. Broil until lightly browned and the center of the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve garnished with capers and lemon wedges.
