Citrus Marinated Swordfish Recipes

CITRUS MARINATED SWORDFISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the swordfish steak into 16 bite sized cubes (4 used per skewer). Cut the bell peppers and onion into approximate 2" wedges (about the same size as the swordfish cubes).
• Thread swordfish and vegetables onto skewers, alternating vegetables and fish. If you are grillng indoors on flat surface, no need to treat skewers. If grilling outside and using wood skewers, you will need to soak the wooden skewers for 30 minutes, (fully submerged in water) prior to adding fish and veggies, to prevent burning once over an open flame.
• Mix together the ingredients for the citrus marinade. Brush sauce onto the kabobs, covering both swordfish and veggies. Turn kabobs to brush both sides with sauce. Let the kabobs sit and "marinate" in the sauce for a bit, while you get your outside BBQ started or heat up your griddle.
• Heat griddle (or outside BBQ) with a tiny bit of oil on medium high heat. Once hot, add kabobs. You should hear them sizzle once they hit the grill. Cook for several minutes, then rotate kabobs to other side. Continue cooking (turning to cook all sides), and basting with additional sauce, until swordfish is seared on the outside, and cooked through (6-8 minutes). TIP: If a piece of the fish isn't fully touching the griddle, simply use a fork to lightly press it down, to ensure a crisp seared exterior. Sometimes the veggies prevent a few piecesfrom being seared on outside; this is the best way I've found to solve that issue.
• Once kabobs are fully cooked through, carefully remove them from the grill, and serve! Enjoy!

ROSEMARY-CITRUS GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Steep garlic in the vegetable oil by adding both at room temperature to a saute pan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the fish. Let the marinade cool, then add the fish. Marinate for 6 to 8 hours, refrigerated. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat grill. Grill the fish on both sides until cooked through. Serve with Roasted Artichoke Ragout.
• Poach the artichokes in water with lemon and salt. Drain and cool. Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roast the artichokes in a pan with 1 tablespoon butter and salt and pepper.
• Saute the garlic and shallots in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the artichokes and toss together. Add the veloute and pine nuts and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the herbs and adjust the salt and pepper. Swirl in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter.

SWORDFISH MARINATED IN LEMON, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, oil, rosemary and garlic on a large, shallow platter or a tray large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer. Add the swordfish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Brush the grill or broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Just before serving time, preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the swordfish to grill or broiler pan, reserve the marinade left on the platter. If broiling, adjust the oven rack so that the tops of the fish are about 3 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks. Broil until lightly browned and the center of the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve garnished with capers and lemon wedges.
