• For the sauce, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.

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.

CAESAR-ROASTED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean.) Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• For the Caesar sauce, place the garlic, parsley, anchovy paste, and mustard in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse to make a smooth sauce.
• Place the swordfish steaks on the pan and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Set aside one third of the sauce to serve with the cooked fish. Spread the fish on one side with half the remaining sauce, turn the fish, and spread the remaining sauce on the second side. Sprinkle with the scallions and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
• Roast the fish for 10 to 12 minutes, until the center is just barely cooked. Cover the fish with aluminum foil and allow to rest on the pan for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saute pan until very hot, add the capers, and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until they start to pop and are a little crisp. Serve the swordfish hot with the lemon wedges, frizzled capers, and the reserved Caesar sauce.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKY TOMATO-ANCHOVY SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill. (Alternatively, use a cast-iron skillet or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.) Place swordfish steaks on a baking sheet and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon olive oil and rub with fingers to coat. Leave at room temperature.
• In a mixing bowl, put vinegar, smoked paprika, tomato paste and garlic. Stir to dissolve tomato paste. Add onion, sweet pepper, chiles and 4 chopped anchovy fillets, and stir everything together. Add pinch of salt and ½ to ¾ cup olive oil and stir again.
• Add cherry tomatoes, lightly season with salt and pepper, then gently fold them into the mixture. Leave to marinate about 10 minutes.
• Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side. Remove when you see juices begin to rise on second side.
• Transfer to plates or a large platter. Stir salsa and spoon generously over fish. Sprinkle with oregano. Garnish with whole anchovy fillets. Surround with a generous amount of arugula and serve.

CURRIED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, GREENS AND GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the ghee or oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Stir together the curry, paprika, salt and pepper. Pat the swordfish dry, and season on both sides with the spice mixture. Cook one side of the fish without moving it, until it is golden and releases easily, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the fish, add the greens and tomatoes (on the vine), scattering evenly over the top of the fish. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and cook over medium heat until greens are wilted, tomatoes have burst and fish is just cooked through but still very moist, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread: While warm, rub each piece vigorously with the garlic clove.
• Remove the fish from the heat and serve immediately, with toasted garlic bread, spooning the juices from the pan over each portion. Squeeze lemon over the top.
