SWORDFISH SANDWICHES RECIPE



Swordfish Sandwiches Recipe image

Provided by Phil Torre

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 4 lemons
Salt & pepper to taste
4 swordfish steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 loaf of ciabatta or other good crusty Italian bread, cut cross-wise into 4 pieces and sliced in half
1/2 pound of arugula, washed and patted dry

Steps:

  • Make the Salmoriglio by combining garlic, oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mixing well. I combine them in a jar, close the lid tight and shake it up. This will make more salmoriglio than you need, but the extra can be refrigerated and used later for chicken or fish on the grill.
  • Pre-heat grill and set fire to medium.
  • Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook turning once until cooked through and lightly browned. About 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill.
  • Place the slices of ciabatta bread, crumb side down on the grill and lightly toast. Remove from grill.
  • Arrange the arugula on the bottoms of the Ciabatta. Drizzle a little salmoriglio on the arugula, then place a swordfish steak on top. Drizzle more salmoriglio on the swordfish and on the toasted side of the top pieces of ciabatta. Place the salmoriglio soaked tops over the swordfish and serve with extra salmoriglio on the side for your guests to add more if desired.

CURRIED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, GREENS AND GARLIC TOAST



Curried Swordfish With Tomatoes, Greens and Garlic Toast image

For a decade, swordfish was dangerously overfished. Over time, the North Atlantic swordfish stock has been rebuilt, and swordfish caught by American vessels are now sustainably fished. One thing hasn't changed: Handled incorrectly, swordfish can be tough or dry. Searing, then steaming with the moisture that comes from braising greens and ripe, on-the-vine tomatoes, yields a moist and succulent steak. Make sure to use small grape or cherry tomatoes. When the tomatoes burst, the juices meld with the curry powder and the fat (ghee or oil) for a flavorful, spoonable sauce. Drizzle any extra over garlicky bread with a generous squeeze of lemon. If you don't have ghee, cook the fish in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil, which will give you all the high-heat flexibility of ghee with the rich, flavorful finish of butter.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks
1 small bunch mustard greens or other braising greens, like kale or chard (about 6 ounces), stemmed and torn into big bite-size pieces
10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes
1 ciabatta loaf or baguette, sliced
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1 lemon, cut into wedges

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.

NEAPOLITAN PASTA WITH SWORDFISH



Neapolitan Pasta With Swordfish image

The lusty foods and intense wines of southern Italy provide inspiration to spare for cooks and connoisseurs. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, succulent olives, tender pastas and fragrant olive oils, alone or combined, spell sheer enjoyment. The roots of red-sauce Italian, ever popular in the United States, are in the south - in Campania and Naples (its capital city) as well as in Puglia and Basilicata. This recipe is a riff on the traditional pasta alla puttanesca, with tomato, capers, olives and garlic, but without the anchovies. The recipe goes bigger on the fish front, with chunks of seared swordfish to bolster the mixture with meaty, briny notes.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 pounds swordfish steaks, skin removed, in 3/4-inch cubes
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons capers in vinegar or salt, large ones if possible, rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
1 1/2 cups canned San Marzano tomatoes, chopped
18 pitted Kalamata olives
1 pound short pasta like casarecce, cavatelli, strozzapreti or penne
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan (4 quarts or more) on high heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it's mighty hot (a piece of fish should sizzle) add the swordfish, spreading the pieces around in the pan in a single layer. Sear about 30 seconds until just starting to brown. Use a spatula to turn the fish, and cook another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add another tablespoon of the oil and the capers and cook a couple of minutes until the capers start to crisp and brown. Turn the heat to low, stir in the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until it barely starts to color. Add the tomatoes and olives. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors, then turn off the heat. While the tomatoes are simmering bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Remove 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the sauté pan.
  • Reheat the pasta in the sauce on medium-low heat, folding everything together with a big spoon. Add a half cup or more of the pasta water to give the tomatoes a nice saucelike consistency, stirring until the pasta is well coated. Gently fold in the swordfish and the lemon zest, and stir until you have everything well mixed and heated through. Add more pepper if you wish; the mixture is not likely to demand salt. Transfer to a warm serving dish, scatter parsley on top and serve.

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS



Grilled Marinated Swordfish Steaks image

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.)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 center-cut swordfish steaks, about 6 ounces each, one-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
4 sprigs rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

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.

SIMPLY GRILLED BASIL-RUBBED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATO-GREEN OLIVE RELISH



Simply Grilled Basil-Rubbed Swordfish with Tomato-Green Olive Relish image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 clove garlic
Kosher salt
2 anchovy fillets, patted dry, chopped
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 plum tomatoes, halved, seeded and finely diced
1/4 cup chopped green olives
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus 8 basil leaves for rubbing
4 swordfish steaks, each about 1 1/2-inches thick
2 tablespoons canola oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Smash the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and mash and smear it to a paste using the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic paste to a medium bowl along with the anchovy, vinegar, pepper flakes and some salt. Whisk to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped basil and gently stir to combine. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Heat a grill to high. Rub both sides of each swordfish steak with two of the basil leaves, leaving some of the now-bruised basil on top of each steak. Brush the steaks with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, basil-side down, until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout, another 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the relish over the fish.
