GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS
Swordfish, with its firm, lean flesh, is an ideal candidate for grilling. It's not as forgiving as some fatty fish, like tuna and black sea bass, so proceed with caution. If you remove the fish from the fire when the center is still slightly pink, by the time it gets to the table it should be cooked through. A quick marinade of soy sauce, red wine vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander and cumin pairs beautifully with the meatiness of the fish, but do not marinate for more than 10 to 15 minutes, or the acid will break down the flesh and leave it mushy (or the flavor will overpower the fish). If you don't have a grill, this works equally well in a broiler. Serve this alongside a colorful pile of Pierre Franey's green bean and tomato salad. It's a summer meal you'll never forget. (Swordfish is on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood watch list, but you can find sustainable options here.)

Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
- Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
- If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

- 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.

Steps:
- Pat the swordfish dry on both sides. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a snug, even layer, place the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Zest in both of the lemons, then juice 1 of the lemons into the marinade. Whisk to combine. Slice the second lemon in half crosswise and reserve for grilling.
- Add the swordfish steaks to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes (do not let sit more than 20 minutes, or the acid will start to break down the fish). Halfway through, flip the swordfish over.
- Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F; you can also cook the fish under the oven broiler). Scrape the grill grates very clean, then oil to prevent sticking. Grill the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, just until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and cover. Let rest 10 minutes.
- At the same time you are grilling the swordfish, grill the lemon halves by placing them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until char marks appear, about 6 minutes.
- Sprinkle the rested swordfish with herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Enjoy hot.

Steps:
- Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.
