Grilled Ginger Margarita Swordfish With Tequila Lime And Orange Zest Homemade Butter
- Tequila lime and orange zest butter
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon valencia orange zest
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon reposado tequila
- 1/4 teaspoon Cointreau
- a few drops of fresh lime and orange juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped flat leaf parsley
- pinch of kosher salt
- Ginger margarita swordfish
- 24 ounces harpoon-caught swordfish steaks
- 1/4 cup Evoo
- 1/4 cup Reposado tequila
- 1/8 cup Cointreau
- 1/8 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 tablespoons fresh valencia orange juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
- 1 handful mesquite and alder woods blended with chardonnay soaked oak wood chips for grill
- hardwood charcoal for grill
- lime wedges, an orange wedge, and parsley for garnish
- Whip the cream to a soft butter.
- Add the flavorings, zest, salt, and herbs. Whip together.
- Chill until serving.
- Mix all the liquids for the marinade and add the zests, ginger, onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Add the steaks- four 6 oz.steaks, or three 8 oz steaks. Chill for 45-60 minutes in a shallow glass pan.
- Prepare the grill using pure hardwood charcoal.
- Add a handful of the mesquite/alder woodchips blend to water or tequila and wait 30 minutes.
- When the hardwood coals are ready to cook, add the soaked companion woodchips. When flames stop, the grill is ready for cooking the steaks.
- On an oiled grill, cook the marinaded steaks for 3-4 minutes per side. I prefer using the grill itself, rather than a cedar plank.
- While still hot, add a teaspoonful of fresh cream butter with each serving and let your heart melt, too. Use lime wedges, an orange wedge, and parsley for garnish.
- Serve with your favorite rice, couscous or other pasta.
