Caribbean Swordfish Recipes

GRILLED MARINATED SWORDFISH STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

SWORDFISH BAKED IN FOIL WITH MEDITERRANEAN FLAVORS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the artichokes, tomatoes, lemon, olives, and herbs. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss together. Take an 18-inch piece of aluminum foil and fold it in half crosswise. Fold a 1-inch strip on each side over twice, once to close and once to seal; you should now have a pouch. Repeat for 3 more pouches. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place 1 into each pouch. Add 1/4 of the artichoke mixture to each pouch. Fold over a 1-inch strip of the top twice to seal. Place the packets onto a sheet pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Carefully open the pouches and place the fish and vegetables onto warm plates. Spoon any juices that have accumulated over the fish. Serve immediately.

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.
