Swordfish Skewers

Agristada Sauce

Method

Swordfish Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Swordfish

    Cut the swordfish steaks into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Swordfish

    In the bowl with swordfish, add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat all pieces. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Soak Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Fish

    Thread the marinated swordfish cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Agristada Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Toss well until everything is evenly combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Herb Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Grilling

  1. 9

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the swordfish skewers with agristada sauce drizzled on top and herb salad on the side.
