Grilled Swordfish With Sautéed Grapes And Sweet Onions Recipe 455

Steps:

• 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.
• When ready to serve, place the swordfish on dinner plates or a serving platter, pile the arugula on top, drizzle with the sauce from the fish, and sprinkle with the grated lemon zest. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add the capers and sauté until the onions are just barely translucent, about 2 minutes. (Be careful when you add the capers; they may spit in the hot oil.) Push the vegetables to the side of the pan with a spatula.
• Sprinkle both sides of each swordfish steak with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Lay the swordfish in the middle of the frying pan, leaving the onions pushed to the side. Cook the swordfish for 2 minutes. While the swordfish cooks, stir the vegetable mixture to prevent it from burning. Reduce the temperature to medium and flip the swordfish. Spoon the vegetable mixture on top of the swordfish. Cook the swordfish for 1 1/2 more minutes, or to desired level of doneness. For medium rare, a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the swordfish will read 145˚F. For medium to well done, cook the fish to 155˚F. or higher. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the swordfish to a serving platter, leaving the onion mixture in the pan.
• Add the garlic, lemon juice, white wine, sugar, and a pinch each of salt and pepper to the onion mixture and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce the liquid to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the basil, and whisk in the butter until it melts.
• Spoon the sauce over the swordfish and serve.

Steps:

• In a 9x13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• On a cutting board, pat the swordfish fillets dry with paper towels.
• Add the swordfish to the dish with the marinade, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to 350°F (180°C).
• Arrange the lemon slices on the grill over indirect heat so that they're touching each other and the entire surface is larger than the fish.
• Place the swordfish on top of the lemon slices and close the lid of the grill. Grill for 8 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through.
• Serve the fish with your favorite accompaniments with the grilled lemon slices squeezed over.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Brine the fish: Combine kosher salt and 2 cups water in a large mixing bowl and stir to dissolve the salt; add ice. Place the swordfish fillets in the brine and leave for 1 hour. Remove the fish from the brine, dip briefly in salt-free ice water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Lay the fish out flat on parchment-lined baking sheets; cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours (ideally). This step is optional. Prepare the grapes and onions: Heat 3 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Add the onion slices, garlic, rosemary, vinegar and honey; cook until the onions soften, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat to low and season the onions with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the grapes, cover the skillet again and cook until they begin to split, about 5 minutes. Grill the fish: Meanwhile, cut out the bloodlines on the fish if necessary. Brush the swordfish with the remaining olive oil and season with more salt and pepper. Grill or broil the fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Plate the dish: Discard the rosemary sprigs and smashed garlic from the sautéed grape mixture, then spoon some onto each of warmed warmed plates. Top with swordfish, garnish with a bit of fresh rosemary and a drizzle of the accumulated pan juice and serve immediately.
