GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROAST PEPPER-PAPAYA-CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a very hot charcoal fire.
• Place the red pepper over the fire. Turn every two minutes or so until it is completely blackened on the outside (this should take 6-10 minutes). Immediately place the charred pepper in a paper bag. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove the pepper from the bag and working with your fingers, peel off the blackened skin. Do not at any point wash off the blackened skin (water spoils the texture of the peppers). Cut the pepper open on the side and remove all seeds and all tough membranes clinging to the walls. Cut the pepper into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the red pepper, the corn, the papaya, the minced coriander and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
• Season the swordfish with salt and pepper and place it over a hot fire. Cook, turning once, for 4-5 minutes, or until the swordfish is just cooked through. Brush with the remaining olive oil while cooking. Transfer the fish to dinner plates, top with salsa and fresh coriander leaves.

GRILLED SWORDFISH SKEWERS WITH ITALIAN SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Using a sharp knife, finely chop all Italian salsa verde ingredients, then place in a medium mixing bowl.
• Whisk with olive oil. Next, stream in the olive oil and whisk until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Preheat the grill. Preheat a grill with the lid down until an temperature of 450-475F is reached.
• Prepare the swordfish. Carefully slice off swordfish skin, then discard. Cut remaining swordfish steaks into large, roughly equal sized pieces about 2" wide. Season generously on all sides with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Assemble the skewers. If using metal skewers, simply alternate pieces of seasoned swordfish cubes with folded over slices of lemon. We recommend 3-4 pieces of swordfish per skewer. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in water for 1 hour first, then assemble the skewers.
• Grill swordfish. When the grill is hot, lightly grease the grates with olive oil or grill spray. Carefully place the skewers down, then cook 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until the swordfish easily pulls away from the grates. Flip the skewers over (wearing grill gloves helps tremendously!) and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until swordfish registers with an internal temperature of 130-135F is reached. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with salsa verde!

GRILLED SWORDFISH VERDE

Steps:

• Blend first 7 ingredients in processor until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or let stand at room temperature 1 hour, turning fish twice.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Place smoke chips in 8x6-inch foil packet with open top. Set packet atop coals about 5 minutes before grilling. Grill fish until cooked through, basting often with marinade, about 4 minutes per side.
• Serve fish with avocado mayonnaise.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, the thyme and Ottoman spice in a bowl; mix well. Divide the marinade between two 1-gallon zip-top bags, then divide the swordfish between the bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the red onion and jalapeno until marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the red onion to a bowl, top with the vinegar and cover with plastic wrap, trapping the steam inside to finish the cooking process. Peel, seed and chop the jalapeno.
• Make the salsa verde: Combine the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, mint, lime juice and remaining 1 cup olive oil in a bowl. Once cool enough to touch, remove the onion from the vinegar and coarsely chop, then add both the vinegar and the onion to the salsa verde; season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and combine well.
• Remove the swordfish from the marinade, shake off the excess and season with kosher salt. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Grill the swordfish 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and grill 2 more minutes to create crosshatch grill marks, then flip and grill until just opaque, about 2 more minutes. Increase the grill heat to high. Grill the halved lemons and the avocados cut-side down until marked, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Dress the watercress with some of the salsa verde on a platter. Top with the swordfish, avocado and more salsa. Garnish with the grilled lemons. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CUCUMBER LIME SALSA

Steps:

• Marinate swordfish:
• Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
• Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
• Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
• Grill swordfish:
• Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.
