Swordfish With Green Sauce
- 10 to 15 anchovy fillets
- 1 1/2 cup parsley leaves, washed and left wet
- 2 cloves garlic
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, with their liquid
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds swordfish steak, skin on
- Salt and pepper
- Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
- In a small food processor or blender, combine anchovies, parsley, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tablespoons oil.
- Process until pureed, adding a little bit of hot water (or more oil) if necessary to allow the machine to do its work.
- Stir the capers into the puree.
- Cut swordfish steaks in half horizontally, leaving the skin attached as a hinge.
- Spread about half the parsley mixture on the inside, then close the steak with a couple of toothpicks.
- Brush with remaining oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill or broil 6 or 7 minutes a side, or until the swordfish is done (swordfish is best when it is still slightly pearly, or you can cook it until it is flaky and well done).
- Serve with remaining green sauce.
