Best Grilled Swordfish With Smoky Tomato Anchovy Salsa Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SMOKED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Divide the swordfish into four pieces of equal size. Place it in a dish that will hold it in a single layer.
• Combine the juice of one lime with the cumin, one-fourth cup of olive oil and salt and Cayenne pepper to taste. Pour over the fish and turn it to coat all sides. Marinate about 45 minutes.
• Preheat grill or broiler. Brush the tomato and onion slices with the remaining olive oil and grill or broil them until they just begin to sear. Remove from grill, allow to cool slightly.
• Finely chop the tomatoes and onions and combine with the scallions, coriander and remaining lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Grill or broil the fish to the desired degree of doneness. It should take about eight minutes for medium.
• Check seasonings of salsa. Serve the fish with a topping of the salsa on each portion.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

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.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH FRESH TOMATO-HERB SALSA

Steps:

• Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add tomatoes and blanch 30 seconds. Drain. Transfer to medium bowl. Cover with cold water; cool. Peel tomatoes. Cut in half; squeeze out juices. Chop tomatoes; transfer to bowl. Add herbs, shallot, vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Prepare barbeque (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush fish with oil. Sprinkle with generous amount of peppercorns and salt. Grill until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Spoon tomato salsa over and serve.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CHARRED EGGPLANT AND SMOKY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Place the eggplant over the hot (direct heat) side of the grill and cook until charred and softened, turning it as it cooks, about 20 minutes. Move the eggplant to the cool (indirect heat) side of the grill and close the grill if the outside chars before the eggplant softens.
• Remove the eggplant from the grill and place it in a resealable plastic bag to steam, about 10 minutes. Peel the eggplant, use a spoon to remove and discard the seeds, then chop the eggplant and place it in a large bowl. Fold in the feta, parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, drizzle the tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Pick the tomatoes up by the vine and place them on the hot (direct heat) side of the grill. Cook until blistered and beginning to crack open, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside while you cook the fish.
• Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper then drizzle with oil. Place on the hot (direct heat) side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked almost all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To serve, spoon some of the eggplant onto a plate or platter. Place the fish on top along with some of the tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
