Category: Sautéed, Fried, and Grilled Whole Fish and Fillets
Along the Pacific Coast and Baja regions of Mexico, locally-caught swordfish is prepared in just about every way. For this recipe, the fish can be grilled over coals or on a stovetop grill pan. The accompanying sauce can be made while the fish marinates.
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Maggi seasoning extract or Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic (medium), mashed
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra to brush on the fish
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/4 medium white onion, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons drained small capers
1 serrano chile, minced with seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1. Put the swordfish in a large glass baking dish. Mix the wine, lime juice, Maggi, and garlic in a small bowl and pour over the fish. Turn the fish to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook, stirring, until most of the juices evaporate. Add the capers, serrano chile, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Set aside.
3. Prepare an outdoor grill, or preheat a grill pan. Sprinkle lightly with the remaining salt, and brush with olive oil. When the grill is ready, or the pan is heated, grill the fish about 4 minutes on each side or until it is lightly browned on the outside, opaque inside, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. To serve, reheat the sauce and spoon over the grilled fish.
