Grilled or Broiled Skewered Swordfish Chunks with Salmoriglio
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds swordfish, cut into large chunks
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus a little more for brushing on the fish
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
- Start a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat a broiler; the fire should be quite hot and the rack about 3 inches from the heat source.
- Thread the fish onto 4 skewers (it will be easier to turn the fish if you use 2 skewers per kebab, for a total of 8 skewers, 4 kebabs).
- Brush the fish with a little olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- Combine the remaining oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano in a small food processor and puree; the mixture should be smooth (scrape down the sides of the container if necessary).
- Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
- Grill or broil the fish, turning as each side browns, a bit more than 2 minutes per side.
- Swordfish is best cooked until tender but not dry; when a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center meets only a little resistance, its done.
- Drizzle with the salmoriglio, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
- Its nice to enhance the sauce with a tablespoon or 2 of capers when you do it this way: Use 2 steaks, each about a pound.
- Put a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and wait a couple of minutes.
- Add 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and cook the fish until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes; turn and cook until the fish is done.
- Serve with the sauce.
