SWORDFISH KEBABS WITH MINT PESTO
"Swordfish is meaty, so it stands up really well to a thick sauce like pesto," says Katie.

Steps:
- Put the fish cubes in a bowl. Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pesto: Put the almonds and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the mint, parsley and lemon zest and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the olive oil; loosen with 1 tablespoon water, if needed. Season the pesto with salt, pepper and the red pepper flakes, if using. Pour about one-third of the pesto over the swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Reserve the remaining pesto for serving. Refrigerate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Skewer 3 or 4 chunks of swordfish on each skewer. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drizzle the skewers with the reserved pesto and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Blend the basil, pine nuts, garlic, zests, juices, salt, and pepper in a food processor until the mixture is finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush both sides of the swordfish fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the swordfish about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a 1-inch thick fillet.
- Transfer the grilled swordfish to serving plates, top with the citrus pesto, and serve.
ROSEMARY-SKEWERED SWORDFISH KEBABS
Steps:
- Pour 1/4 cup oil into a wide, shallow, nonreactive dish. Stir in the lemon and orange zests, 1/2 tablespoon of the thyme and all but 1 tablespoon of the chopped rosemary. Add the swordfish to the marinade and turn to coat the fish completely. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
- Preheat gas grill to high or prepare a charcoal grill, letting the coals burn until white ash is visible. Remove the swordfish from the marinade, brushing off any solids. Skewer the fish pieces with the rosemary branches (about 4 pieces per branch). Season each kebab with salt and pepper. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook, turning as needed, until cooked through, approximately 4 minutes total.

SWORDFISH SKEWERS WITH ESCOVEITCH TARTAR SAUCE
One of my favorite Jamaican dishes is escoveitch fish, which is made in the shacks along the beaches and streets of Jamaica. We made it this way for Memorial Day and WOW is all I can say! It is made over an open fire and served in a peppery vinegar sauce. Anyway, that is how I remember it! Chef Bradford Thompson, opts to skewer and grill his fish instead of frying it; he also transforms the sauce by mixing it with mayonnaise - it is oh so good!!(I used to buy it in a little store here in Miami and they used to use small fish - so when could eat a whole one at a time.) The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days ahead. F&W Magazine, June 2008 edition.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the Scotch bonnet half with the onion, allspice, bay leaf, vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 30 minutes; strain the vinegar into a medium bowl and let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water.
- Blanch the chayote and carrot in the boiling water just until crisp-tender, about 1 minute.
- Drain and transfer to the bowl of ice water.
- Drain and squeeze dry, then pat dry.
- Add the chayote and carrot to the vinegar along with the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice and mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper.
- Mince the remaining Scotch bonnet half and add it to the sauce.
- Light a grill.
- Loosely thread the swordfish on 6 pairs of skewers.
- Thread the tomatoes on single skewers.
- Lightly brush the fish and tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over moderately high heat, turning as necessary, until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 4 minutes for the tomatoes and 7 minutes for the swordfish.
- Transfer the skewers to a platter and pass the sauce at the table.
- ** WINE: Swordfish, while meaty, is not an oily fish so it can pair well with light reds and rosés, as well as whites (as can other similar fish). Try opening a chilled rosé from California with Thompson's skewers-it's a great outdoor, summertime combination. Two to look for are Bonny Doon Vineyard's strawberry-scented 2007 Vin Gris de Cigare or the crisp 2006 Terre Rouge Vin Gris d'Amador.
