GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKES, TOMATOES, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Cut off the top third of each artichoke, snip off the sharp tips from the remaining leaves, and trim the bottom slightly so that it is even.
• In a small stockpot, bring 3 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the artichokes and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the outer leaves pull away easily with a sharp tug. Drain the artichokes, immediately plunge them into ice and water to stop the cooking process, and then drain again.
• Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise, brush them lightly with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the artichokes on the grill over a medium-hot fire, cut side down, and cook them for about 10 minutes, or until the cut sides are well browned. Remove the artichokes and cut each half in half.
• In a medium bowl, combine the artichokes, tomato, olives, parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice and mix well. Set aside.
• Check to be sure the fire is still at the medium-hot level. If it is not, add a bit of fuel and wait until it is caught. Rub the swordfish steaks with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and place on the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning only once. To check for doneness: Cut into one of the steaks; it should be just opaque throughout. Remove from the grill and serve, topped with the artichoke mixture.

SEARED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE (TETSUYA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 dgrees F.
• In an oven-safe non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the grapeseed oil and then sear the swordfish fillets on both sides.
• Transfer the frying pan and fillets to the oven for a few minutes ONLY to help the fillets cook through -- ideally, you will remove the fish when they are medium-rare.
• Trim the artichoke, cut in half and remove the choke.
• Cut each half into half again, put into a pan containing water, the lemon juice and salt; and cook until tender.
• To make the sauce, put the soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, black olive paste, garlic and chicken stock into a saucepan, stir, and gently heat.
• Just before serving, wilt the rocket in the sauce and then remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
• To serve, warm 4 plates; place the wakame in the center, with the swordfish on top of it; place an artichoke quarter by the side of the fillet; garnish with parsley, scallions, rocket and tomato.
• You may dress the fillet with sauce or pass the sauce separately.
