Pesto-Topped Grilled Swordfish Steak
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp bottled pesto
- 4 swordfish steaks (4–6 oz each)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking Method
- Spread the pesto all over the swordfish steaks, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- While the fish marinates, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two, until lightly browned.
- Add the tomatoes and sauté until the skins are lightly blistered and about to pop, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Season the fish all over with salt and pepper.
- When the grill is hot, cook the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked all the way through and the flesh flakes with gentle pressure.
- Reheat the tomatoes and top each steak with a scoop.
Our swordfish is wild caught from the pristine waters off the coast of Mozambique by a fishery participating in a Fishery Improvement Plan. Each steak is expertly hand cut, blast frozen to lock in freshness, and shipped at 0°F. Cold chain temperatures are recorded and maintained throughout the journey from shore to store.

Pan-Seared Red Snapper
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 (4 ounce) swordfish steaks
- 2 avocados
- 6 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 fresh red chili, seeded, deveined and chopped
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 pinch Salt and fresh-ground pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 ounces mixed salad leaves
Cooking Method
- Mix the oil with the garlic and ground coriander, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush this mixture over both sides of the swordfish steaks.
- Heat a ridged, cast-iron grill pan or nonstick skillet until hot. Fry the fish steaks until just cooked – they should still be very slightly translucent in the middle, because swordfish becomes dry if overcooked — 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, make the salad. Peel, seed, and chop the avocados. Mix the avocado chunks with the tomatoes, onion, chili, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir in the red kidney beans and season to taste.
- Serve the spicy swordfish steaks with the salad and a garnish of mixed salad leaves.
