Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Stuffed Swordfish Steaks.
Step 1
Start by rinsing your swordfish steaks under cool water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Next, place the fish in a glass baking dish, ready to soak up some delicious flavors.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together a delightful blend of dry white wine, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, three tablespoons of olive oil, and a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice.
Step 4
This marinade is where the magic happens! Pour it generously over the swordfish, cover the dish, and let it chill in the refrigerator for several hours or even overnight.
Step 5
This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a mouthwatering experience.
Step 6
When you’re ready to cook, take the swordfish out of the marinade, but don’t toss that liquid gold just yet—set it aside for later.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut pockets into the sides of the swordfish steaks, creating little treasure troves for the filling.
Step 8
In another bowl, mix together chopped arugula, diced tomato, three tablespoons of olive oil, and three tablespoons of lemon juice.
Step 9
This fresh mixture will add a burst of flavor! Stuff the arugula blend into the pockets of the swordfish, and secure the openings with toothpicks to keep everything in place.
Step 10
Now, let’s turn that reserved marinade into a sauce! Pour it into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 11
Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens and reduces by half, intensifying the flavors.
Step 12
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat, and when it’s ready, grill the stuffed swordfish steaks for about five minutes on each side.
Step 13
You’re looking for that perfect cook and those beautiful grill marks that say “delicious.
Step 14
” Once they’re cooked through, remove the swordfish from the grill and drizzle the reduced marinade over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 15
Serve your stunning grilled stuffed swordfish immediately, and get ready to enjoy a dish that’s not just a meal, but a culinary adventure!.
