  Fish and grill
  Freshly-ground black pepper

2 tablespoons 30mlOrange or mandarin marmalade

1/4 cup 59mlFresh lemon juice
1/4 cup 59mlWhite wine vinegar
1/4 cup 59mlFresh orange juice
1/4 cup 59mlExtra-virgin olive oil or hazelnut oil

Recipe Instructions

Brush the swordfish with a little extra virgin olive oil and grind a little pepper over the slices. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the marinade: Combine all of the marinade ingredients, except the oil, in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat and let cool. Whisk in the oil. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Before you are ready to cook the fish, heat a grill, then brush it with extra virgin olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Note: Make sure to get the charcoal very hot and let it get coated with grey ash before grilling the fish. If you are using a gas or electric grill get it very hot, too, then turn the heat down to medium to cook the fish.

Warm the marinade slightly.

Brush the swordfish with a little of the marinade, then grill about 4 minutes on each side, until it feels springy to the touch.

Place the swordfish on warm plates and serve with a nice assortment of mixed greens.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
