Cajun Swordfish With Quick Creamy Remoulade Sauce Recipes

CAJUN SWORDFISH WITH QUICK, CREAMY REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, and capers; stir until well blended.
• In another small bowl, combine the paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Brush the swordfish with 1 tsp. of the oil. Spread equal amounts of the paprika mixture onto both sides of the swordfish and let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a large cast-iron or heavy-duty skillet, heat the remaining 2 tsp. oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the swordfish and cook until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the swordfish and continue to cook until the fish is cooked through (cut into it to check) and the second side is well browned, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with the rémoulade sauce.

GRILLED SWORDFISH RéMOULADE

Steps:

• Start a wood or charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill (or broiler); the fire should be quite hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. While it's heating, make the mayonnaise and combine it with all the remaining ingredients except the fish. (If you're making the mayonnaise in a food processor or blender, you can save yourself some mincing by adding the garlic at the beginning and pulsing in the other solid ingredients while the sauce is still in the machine.)
• Grill the fish, turning when nicely browned, about 4 or 5 minutes, then cook for 4 or 5 minutes more. The fish is done when just a bit of translucence remains in its center; use a thin-bladed knife to check. Serve hot or cold, with the rémoulade sauce.
