Moroccan Grilled Swordfish Recipes

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH MOROCCAN CHARMOULA

Steps:

• In a bowl combine cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Whisk well. Add olive oil slowly. Add parsley and cilantro. Reserve 1/4 of charmoula. Add peppers, lemon, tomatoes and olives to remaining charmoula to make a relish. Place swordfish on sheet pan. Rub with salt, pepper and reserved charmoula. Grill swordfish on medium heat until just cooked through. Remove fish from heat and arrange on platter. Top with charmoula relish.

HERB-MARINATED GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, garlic, dill, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours; the longer you marinate the fish, the stronger the flavor will be.
• When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove swordfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook swordfish on the preheated grill until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Swordfish cooks very quickly and your grill will flare up with this marinade!

MOROCCAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow baking pan and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until completely emulsified. Stir in parsley and cilantro. Set aside 1/2 cup of the marinade. Pour the remaining marinade over the swordfish in the baking pan, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Turn the swordfish over in the pan halfway through marinating.
• Grill the swordfish until the flesh flakes easily, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Spoon the reserved marinade over the cooked swordfish, and serve immediately.

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.
