Essential Elements

• Swordfish: A hearty, fatty fish that grills beautifully resembling a steak. Its firm texture allows for easy cubing for kabobs. If swordfish isn’t available, mahi-mahi, salmon, or tuna can be suitable substitutes.
• Lemon and Pepper: Utilize lemon zest in the marinade and serve the grilled swordfish with fresh lemon wedges for a tangy touch. For the pepper, employ a coarse setting on a pepper grinder to ensure visible specks on the fish.
• Anchovy Paste and Thyme: These components complete the marinade. Combine olive oil, lemon zest, pepper, anchovy paste, and thyme to marinate swordfish cubes before skewering and grilling. While the marinade is simple, it elevates the swordfish’s flavor remarkably. Alternatively, finely minced anchovies can be used in place of anchovy paste.

Instructions for Crafting Grilled Swordfish Kabobs

This swordfish recipe is a breeze. Begin by preparing a straightforward marinade with olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, anchovy paste, and thyme.

Slice your swordfish steaks into cubes (for quick cooking and easy skewering) and coat them in the marinade. Allow the fish to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour, or longer if desired.

While the fish marinates, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.

Once the fish is marinated, heat up your grill (or grill pan), thread the swordfish cubes onto skewers, and grill them. Due to their cubed shape, they only require a few minutes on each side. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
