Grilled Swordfish with Tangy Onions & Fennel

Go to Recipe

A riff on the classic Venetian dish sarde in saor, this recipe combines meaty swordfish with vinegared onions and smoky grilled fennel. Look for swordfish steaks that have a nice sheen and are relatively thin; they're more tender than heftier steaks, which can be mealy.

Grilled Swordfish with Tomato-and-Cucumber Salsa

Go to Recipe

Cooking fish on an outdoor grill is one of the joys of summer. Firm swordfish steaks are particularly well suited to this method, and here we've topped them with a seasonal salsa of cucumber, dill and grilled tomatoes. The dish can also be made in the broiler.

Chile-Rubbed Swordfish Kebabs with Cucumber Salad

Go to Recipe

Swordfish is an extra-healthy choice since it's a source of omega-3 fatty acids, but the assertive spice rub here also works well on shrimp and pork tenderloin.

Swordfish with Vegetable Couscous and Tomato Vinaigrette

Go to Recipe

A fluffy mound of couscous, studded with diced fennel and summer squash, makes a lovely bed for a succulent seared swordfish steak. Topping it off is a vinaigrette that's chunky with fresh plum tomatoes. If you like, you can grill or broil the swordfish steaks instead of sauteing them.
