Best Swordfish Bay Leaf And Orange Brochettes Recipes

LEMON SWORDFISH BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Remove skin from swordfish and cut into 1-inch cubes; set aside.
• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes
• In small bowl, stir together lemonade concentrate, garlic, vinegar, clam juice, lemon pepper, and parsley; set aside. Alternate fish and tomatoes on soaked skewers. Secure both ends with a wedge of lemon.
• Place skewers in a large resealable bag. Pour in marinade. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove skewers from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, to bring to room temperature.
• Light grill and preheat to medium-high. Brush and oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Remove skewers from marinade and place on preheated, oiled grill. Discard marinade.
• Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side (about 12 to 16 minutes total). Serve hot.

SWORDFISH WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the lemon juice and olive oil.
• Place the swordfish cubes in a shallow glass dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour about 1/3 cup of the olive oil and lemon mixture over the fish and toss to coat evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Add the garlic and oregano to the remaining olive oil and lemon mixture.
• Set aside to use as a sauce.
• Preheat the broiler or fire up the barbecue.
• Cut the onion through the stem end into quarters and separate each quarter into individual pieces.
• Alternate the swordfish cubes with the onion pieces and bay leaves on skewers.
• Arrange the skewers on a broiler pan or on the grill rack.
• Broil or grill, turning once, until the fish is opaque throughout when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices and accompanied by the reserved sauce.

SWORDFISH WITH CITRUS SALADE "VERONIQUE"

Steps:

• For the salad, combine pomegranate, oranges, grapes, lime zest, lime juice, and mint leaves. Set aside briefly.
• In a small bowl, make a paste with the 1/2 cup of the lemon juice (reserving the rest - about 1/4 cup - for a lemon-butter sauce), lemon zest, and lemon pepper. Season the swordfish steaks with salt and press some of the lemon paste into the top surface of the fish to make a crust on each. Over medium heat in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and melt 1/4 cup butter. Starting with the crust side down first, sear the swordfish steaks. It is important to leave the fish undisturbed for about 3 minutes for the seasonings to integrate into the surface of the fish and for the caramelization process to begin. This will prevent the layer of seasonings from "crusting off". Flip the fish and sear the other side. Swordfish must be cooked briefly because it easily dries out. Remove fish to a utility platter and let rest. (The fish will continue to cook even when it is removed from the heat because of a process known as "carryover" cooking. It is especially important to be mindful of this with swordfish. Do not overcook the fish. If you cook this fish in the pan until it "looks" done - it will end up being overdone after carryover cooking.)
• To the pan, add the reserved lemon juice and swirl to get all the bits in the pan. Remove from heat and whisk in cubed butter. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Place swordfish steaks on serving plate and drizzle with a small amount of the lemon butter sauce. Spoon citrus salad around fish.

SWORDFISH, BAY LEAF AND ORANGE BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Put the bay leaves and 24 12-inch wooden skewers in warm water to soak.
• Put the swordfish cubes in a shallow dish. Mix the orange juice, garlic, oil, pepper flakes and salt together and pour over the swordfish, turning the fish to coat it. Refrigerate to marinate 30 minutes.
• Light a grill.
• Holding two skewers close together, thread each with alternating swordfish, bay leaf, orange wedge and another bay leaf, repeating the ingredients and ending with a piece of swordfish.
• Grill the brochettes about 10 minutes, until the swordfish is cooked through. Serve on a bed of rice seasoned with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.
