Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound fresh wax beans
1/4 pound fresh green beans
1/2 pound fingerling potatoes
Olive oil
Red and yellow sweet 100 tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Spice Rubbed Swordfish, recipe follows
Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1/4 cup torn parsley leaves
2 tablespoons fennel seeds, toasted and ground
2 teaspoons mustard seeds, toasted and ground
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks
Olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
  • Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil then season with a tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until just crisp tender. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit in the ice water for a few minutes, and then drain well.
  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and season with 1 tablespoon of salt and cook until almost cooked through (a knife or skewer inserted into the center goes in with a little resistance). Drain well and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, cut side down and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and grill until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Place cooked beans, grilled potatoes, tomatoes, and onions, in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the swordfish.
  • Add swordfish cubes to salad, toss to combine, and divide among 4 plates. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon torn parsley.
  • Heat grill to high.
  • Combine spices and salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush both sides of swordfish with oil and season with a little salt. Rub 1 side of each steak with 1/4 of the spice mixture. Place swordfish on the grill, spice side down and cook until slightly charred and a crust has formed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes. Dice swordfish into bite-size pieces.
  • Whisk together vinegar, honey, garlic and anchovy paste and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and set aside.

Don't marinate the fish more than 15 minutes, or it will be cooked by the citric acid in the lemon juice (like the Latin dish seviche). And don't toss the vegetables until serving time, or the vinegar will discolor the beans.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large clove of garlic
Coarse salt, to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 ounces tender green beans, ends snapped, halved diagonally and blanched
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) red bell pepper
1/2 small red onion, slivered lengthwise

1 tablespoon drained tiny capers
1/4 cup loosely packed slivered basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 swordfish steaks (about 6 ounces each)
1 hard-cooked egg, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle the garlic with a generous pinch of salt; finely mince and place in a large shallow bowl with the vinegar. Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly to make a vinaigrette. Season with pepper.
  • 2. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain. Slice the potatoes and place in a bowl. Layer the green beans atop the potatoes, followed by the red pepper, onion, olives, capers, and slivered fresh basil. Do not toss this salad until serving time.
  • 3. Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the fish; coat well. Let rest 15 minutes.
  • 4. Place the fish on a lightly oiled broiler pan, 4 inches from the heat source, and broil for 4 minutes on the first side. Turn carefully and broil 4 minutes on the other side. Remove to the center of a platter.
  • 5. Gently toss the salad from underneath and surround the swordfish. Sprinkle the chopped egg on top. Grind some pepper over all and garnish with chopped parsley.
