SICILIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or stovetop grill until very hot.
• For the sauce, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until almost cooked through. Remove to a flat dish, prick holes in the fish with the tines of a fork, and pour the lemon sauce over the fish while it¿s still hot. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• When ready to serve, place the swordfish on dinner plates or a serving platter, pile the arugula on top, drizzle with the sauce from the fish, and sprinkle with the grated lemon zest. Serve warm.

BROILED SWORDFISH STEAK WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Wipe the swordfish dry with paper towels. Combine two tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Brush the mixture on the swordfish and marinate for one hour.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Meanwhile, soften the shallots in the remaining tablespoon olive oil over low heat and add the tomatoes and rosemary. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• Broil the swordfish for five to seven minutes, turn and broil for about three minutes longer. Place on a serving dish or individual warm plates and place the tomato-rosemary mixture on the side. Serve immediately.

BROILED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, ANCHOVIES, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• 1. Cut the swordfish into ten 3 1/2 ounce portions. Refrigerate until needed.
• 2. Sweat the shallots and garlic in the wine until the shallots are translucent. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and anchovies.
• 3. For each serving : Brush 1 portion of swordfish with 1/4 teaspoon of the oil and broil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
• 4. While the swordfish is broiling, heat 3 ounces of the tomato mixture in a small saute pan. Remove from the heat and add about 1/2 teaspoon of the basil. Toss to combine. Serve with the swordfish.
• Any firm-fleshed fish suitable for broiling, such as halibut or tuna, may be substituted for the swordfish.

GRILLED OR BROILED SKEWERED SWORDFISH CHUNKS WITH SALMORIGLIO

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat a broiler; the fire should be quite hot and the rack about 3 inches from the heat source. Thread the fish onto 4 skewers (it will be easier to turn the fish if you use 2 skewers per kebab, for a total of 8 skewers, 4 kebabs). Brush the fish with a little olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
• Combine the remaining oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano in a small food processor and puree; the mixture should be smooth (scrape down the sides of the container if necessary). Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
• Grill or broil the fish, turning as each side browns, a bit more than 2 minutes per side. Swordfish is best cooked until tender but not dry; when a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center meets only a little resistance, it's done. Drizzle with the salmoriglio, garnish with the parsley, and serve.

• It's nice to enhance the sauce with a tablespoon or 2 of capers when you do it this way: Use 2 steaks, each about a pound. Put a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and wait a couple of minutes. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and cook the fish until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes; turn and cook until the fish is done. Serve with the sauce.
