Grilled Swordfish with Lemon Caper Relish
From The Kitchen
Swordfish is wonderfully meaty and holds up beautifully on the grill. A quick lemon-caper relish adds brightness without much effort.
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 swordfish steaks (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
- Relish: 2 tbsp capers rinsed, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tbsp chopped basil, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Brush the swordfish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over medium-high heat 4–5 minutes per side, until just cooked through.
- Stir together the relish ingredients while the fish cooks.
- Spoon the relish over the grilled swordfish before serving.
No grill? Sear in a hot grill pan or cast-iron, or broil, a few minutes per side.
Gina's tip
Serve with grilled asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes.
Coach's Note
Swordfish is the steak of the sea — meaty enough to stand up to the grill. The caper relish is what makes it.
Serve With
- Grilled asparagus
- Roasted fingerling potatoes
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
