Grilled Swordfish With Basil Caper Butter Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON-BASIL BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat.
• Cut each swordfish steak in half, drizzle with lemon juice and let stand for 1 minute. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, salt and pepper and set aside.
• Place the butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and basil in a small bowl and combine well. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Oil the grill grates and add the fish. Grill the swordfish steaks until opaque throughout, 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes per side. To avoid drying out the fish, do not leave unattended.
• Top each piece of fish with about 1 tablespoon of the lemon-basil butter just as it comes off the grill. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON, MINT AND BASIL

Steps:

• Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Whisk the oil, mint, lemon juice, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Season the lemon and olive oil mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Brush the swordfish steaks with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture. Grill the steaks until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steaks). Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.
