Grilledswordfishwithpineappleplantainchutney Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut the top from the pineapple and discard. Cut the sides off to make 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and put it in a medium bowl.
• Finely grate the ginger and add half to the bowl with the pineapple; reserve the rest. Add the cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice and onion to the diced pineapple. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then toss well and refrigerate while you make the fish.
• Stir the soy sauce and honey together with the remaining ginger in a small bowl. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush the tops (the flesh side) of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture and place the fish fillets on top of the planks. Brush the remaining soy sauce mixture on the tops of the fillets, folding the thinner part of the fillets under if needed to fit on the plank.
• Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish on the planks topped with some of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or reserve to serve with chips.

Steps:

• For Chutney: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add plantain; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix pineapple, 1/2 cup wine, stock and chili in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until most of liquid evaporates and pineapple is soft, about 10 minutes. Add plantain and stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
• For fish: Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Mix lime juice, shallots and honey in blender. Gradually add oil and blend well. Brush mixture liberally over fish. Season fish with salt and pepper.
• Grill fish until cooked through, basting with lime mixture, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Rinse the fish fillets, pat dry and set aside.
• In a food processor, briefly whirl the pineapple, lemon peel, lemon, chile, bell peppers, scallions, ginger and Tabasco till the chutney has a confetti-like appearance. Add reserved juice if chutney seems too dry.
• Add salt to taste.
• Arrange the fish in a lightly oiled baking dish.
• Grill the fish till tender and cooked through and serve topped with chutney.
• Alternatively: Top with chutney and bake, covered, for 20-25 minutes, till fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the golden raisins to a small bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate and plump. Remove the raisins but reserve the liquid.
• Heat a small saucepan over low heat with the butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pine nuts and reserved raisins and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of the reserved raisin liquid. Continue to cook until most of the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and chopped lemon, toss in the chives and season with salt. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add a little more of the liquid from the golden raisins. The relish should be thick and homogenous, but not too thin or saucy.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the swordfish steaks on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the swordfish onto the grill and cook without moving the fish for 2 minutes. When the fish starts to pull away from the pan, you know it's ready to turn. Turn the fish 90 degrees to create a crosshatch. Grill for another 2 minutes. Flip the fish, then repeat on the other side. Remove the fish onto a sheet tray lined with a rack. Transfer into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Drizzle the romaine lettuce with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce onto the grill, cut side down, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, then grill for another 2 minutes. Cut the grilled lettuce into 1-to 2-inch pieces and add to a large bowl along with the radishes and feta cheese.
• Add the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, honey and sumac to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until emulsified. Season with salt. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the grilled romaine salad. Gently toss to combine. There will be leftover vinaigrette - it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, top the grilled swordfish with some of the olive, pine nut and raisin relish. Drizzle with oil. Serve alongside the grilled romaine lettuce.

Steps:

• Trim the swordfish of any fatty layers and cut out any bloodstained flesh or ask your fishmonger to do this for you. Cut into 4 chunky steaks (about 2cm thick). The thickness must be even for a perfect 'cuisson' (a chef's term for 'doneness').
• In a shallow dish, mix 120ml oil, 1 tbsp sesame oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 lightly crushed garlic clove, 2 good pinches of salt and the rosemary. Put the fish steaks into the marinade, cover and chill from 1 hr to a day until ready to cook, turning them once or twice.
• For the salsa, peel and dice the pineapple and put two thirds of the diced flesh into a blender or food processor with 1 tsp salt, the shallot, 2 tbsp olive oil and the remaining sesame oil. Whizz until smooth.
• Slit the chillies open and remove seeds. Chop the flesh. Peel the lemongrass; cut the stalk into strips then dice. Place the chillies, lemongrass, 1 garlic clove and lime juice into a large mortar. Roughly crush, then work the onions and ginger in to form a paste.
• Finely chop the coriander leaves and shred the basil leaves. Add to the chilli mixture, then mix with the pineapple purée and the extra pineapple dice. Put in a bowl and pour over the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Cover and chill for up to a day.
• To cook the swordfish, heat a grill or griddle pan until really hot. Drain the steaks from the marinade and place on the griddle. Watch the flesh change from translucent to pale cream - the 'cuisson' - 1 min. Turn the steaks and cook for 1 more min - no more! To serve, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber pappardelle and roasted lettuce on plates. Drizzle over the salsa and top with the swordfish.
