How To make Barbequed Swordfish with Black Olive Cucumber Salad
4 6 ounce swordfish fillets (steaks) -- about 1-inch thick
4 ounces basic tomato sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon hot chili flakes
1 cup black olives such as Gaeta
1 pound English cucumbers (1 long one)
sliced
2 plum tomatoes :
stem removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar :
plus 6 T
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chives -- chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat barbecue with good hot fire. Rinse and pat dry swordfish.
In a small mixing bowl, mix tomato sauce, sugar, balsamic, chilis and let stand. Into another mixing bowl, add Gaeta olives and cucumber. Cube plum tomatoes into 1/8-inch cubes and add to cucumber mixture. Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons oregano leaves and mix well. Do not season until ready to serve or vegetables will wilt.
In a blender, mix Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar until smooth. Remove and stir in chopped chives and set aside. Brush swordfish steaks with barbecue sauce and season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes on first side and flip over. Spoon 1 ounce barbecue sauce over each steak and finish cooking without turning about 4 more minutes. Meanwhile, divide cucumber salad among 4 plates. When swordfish is finished, lean one steak on each plate over salad. Drizzle with chive sauce and serve.

Grilled Swordfish Tostada with Jicama Slaw & Guacamole Recipe:
Recipe by Bobby Parrish
Serves 4 people
For the fish:
1 pound of swordfish
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper
1 package of crispy tostada shells (can be found in Mexican aisle of store)
For the guacamole:
2 avocados
Juice of ½ grilled lime
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 red onion, cut in thick circles
1 tsp kosher salt
Few cracks of fresh pepper
For the slaw:
1/4 head red cabbage, finely sliced
1/2 medium size jicama, peeled and julienne cut using a mandoline
1/2 cup crème fraiche
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice of ½ grilled lime
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tbsp water
1 tspn kosher salt
Few cracks of fresh pepper
For the pickled radish:
1 large jar of pickles( I use the pickle liquid to pickle to radish, it’s a food hack)
6 red radishes, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. For the guacamole, grill the avocados, limes, and red onions for a few minutes until you get nice char marks, then dice the onion. Add the avocado flesh and next 5 ingredients to a bowl and mash with a large fork or potato masher. Check for seasoning, you may need more lime juice. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Make sure plastic wrap touches the surface of the guacamole or it will turn brown.
2. For the pickled radish, add the sliced radishes to the pickle liquid and set aside.
3. For the slaw, add the sliced cabbage and jicama to a large bowl and set aside. In another bowl, add the crème fraiche and next 6 ingredients and whisk well. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary. The dressing should be tangy, so you may need more lime juice. Toss the dressing with the slaw right before you are ready to serve or it will get soggy.
4. Cut the swordfish in 1x3 inch strips and rub with veggie oil. Season with a generous pinch of the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on each side of the fish. Pre-heat your grill to medium-high and cook the fish for 3 minutes both sides, then let it rest under tin foil for 2 minutes.
5. To plate, spread some guacamole on the crispy tostada, top with some jicama slaw and pickled radishes. Top off with 1 or 2 pieces of fish and garnish with a few pickled radishes, lime zest and/or chopped mint.
