Caribbean Swordfish 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 JERK SWORDFISH CARIBBEAN WITH PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush both sides with marinade and lay on a plate (or on a broiler rack or baking sheet if broiling); set aside.
• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler.
• Add enough chicken broth to the reserved pineapple juice to measure 2 cups.
• Stir the broth mixture, pineapple, rice, bell pepper and allspice together in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Take from the heat and let stand until ready to serve; discard the allspice berries.
• When the rice has cooked 12 to 15 minutes, place fish on a lightly oiled grill and cook 3 minutes.
• Turn over and cook until the fish is just barely opaque but still moist in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more for 3/4-inch-thicksteaks (or broil, without turning, for 6 to 8 minutes).
• Fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the green onions and spoon onto individual plates.
• Transfer the swordfish to plates and garnish with lime wedges.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH A GRILLED MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Grill the corn, rotating occasionally, until charred, about 10 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cob. Meanwhile, grill the mangoes on each side until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Place the mangoes on a cutting board and let cool slightly, then rough chop and combine in a bowl with the corn, limes, lime juice, red onion, habanero, cilantro, avocado and salt.
• Combine the ancho chile powder, coriander and salt in a bowl. Brush the fish on both sides with the olive oil. Sprinkle the swordfish with the spice rub. Grill the swordfish until the outside is nicely charred and the interior is cooked through, about 4 minutes a side, depending on the thickness.
• Place the swordfish on plates, then season with salt and pepper and divide the salsa among them. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and some additional cilantro.
