Method

Preparation of Swordfish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Swordfish

    Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare Green Beans

    Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare Fennel

    Remove the fronds from the fennel bulbs and slice them into wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 5

    Make Aleppo Chili Citrus Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together aleppo chili flakes, citrus juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Preparation of Relish

  1. 6

    Make Castelvetrano Relish

    Chop the Castelvetrano olives and red onion finely. In a bowl, mix them with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Grill the Swordfish

    Place the seasoned swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks.

  2. 8

    Grill the Fennel

    Place the fennel wedges on the grill alongside the swordfish. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side until tender and charred.

  3. 9

    Blanch the Green Beans

    In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
