Any swordfish or shark recipes?

[mysterycook]

I've tried the Malaysian Lime-Coconut swordfish and the Swordfish Portugaise recipes from Cooking Light. Both turned out great with swordfish or shark steaks. Does anyone have any other recipes or preparation tips for swordfish, shark or other whitefish they can share?

Last I heard they were still overfishing Swordfish. I haven't bought it in a couple years. Has anyone heard any different?

For other firm white fish like shark and halibut, they work great on Kabobs as a surf and turf type of thing.

I'm a swordfish purist (and also apparently very naughty for continuing to eat the stuff if there's a shortage.) You could probably find umpteen million ways to serve your swordfish and shark if you check Epicurious, but I'm all for doing it this way: either barbecue California-style on mesquite, moistening only with a little margarine and paprika or (my favorite) grill those puppies with a little garlic butter and provide each plate with a liberal amount of (gasp!) melted butter with LOADS of garlic in it. I salivate at the mere thought...

Know what else? If you check our Indian Recipe thread, Louise had a tandoori recipe that'd probably work well with the swordfish, too, I'll betcha. Or if you like wasabi sauce (again check Epicurious) that works well on swordfish... Oh dear! More drooling...

No species of swordfish or sharks are currently listed on the worldwide or U.S. endangered or threatened species lists (available from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service).

Hi mysterycook,
A while back I posted 2 recipes to someone who had asked for a Shad/Shark recipe-actually I think it was on the old board. Here are two that I have. Hope this helps. Take care, http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif Zinnia

*Baltimore Broiled Shad

2# shark or shad fillets fresh or frozen
1/4 c. melted butter or veg. oil (<YIKES!)
2 T. horseradish
2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 t. prepared mustard
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
paprika

Thaw frozen fillets; cut into serving-size portions. Combine remaining ing. except paprika for sauce. Place fish, skin-side up,
on well-greased broiler pan; brush w/ sauce. Broil 3 inches from heat 4-5 min.. Turn carefully & brush w/ sauce; broil 4-5 min. longer, or until fish flakes easily when tested w/ a fork. Sprinkle w/ paprika; serve at once.

*Orange Shark Kabobs

grated peel of 1/2 fresh orange
1/3 c. fresh squeezed o.j.
1/4 c. corn oil (YIKES! again)
1/4 c. minced onion
1/4 t. dried rosemary leaves, crushed
1/4 t. dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/4 t. salt
1# shark or halibut steak, cut in 1 inch pieces, or 1# scallops
1 orange, unpeeled & cut in 12 wedges
12 med. size fresh mushrooms
hot cooked brown rice

Combine orange peel and juice, oil, onion, rosemary, thyme & salt in a shallow dish.
Add fish, marinate 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Arrange orange wedges, fish,
& mushrooms alternately on 4 skewers. Place on broiler pan; broil 4 inches from heat 12-14 min., turning & brushing occasionally w/ remaining marinade. Serve along w/ your favorite rice or pasta.

I agree about garlic butter - soooo good on fish. Alsoadding lemon is good too. My other suggestion is lemon juice & a sprinkle of cajun spices. That's always tasty, easy, & light - better on white fish than swordfish probably.

I always like a dash of melted butter, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley and dill. On swordfish--or my favorite tuna.

In the CL recipe search there's a really good tuna recipe that could probably be used with swordfish--Balsamic Glazed Tuna Steaks. It's great and super-easy, especially when you serve it with couscous.

I have a recipe for shark/swordfish kebabs from a very old Cooking Light. I don't remember the exact measurements but since it is a marinade everything is kind of to your personal tastes. Take about 1/2 cup of your favorite italian salad dressing, about 2-3 cloves of garlic and tear up about 6 fresh basil leaves and puree in your blender. I put the shark, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms on bamboo sticks and marinate about 1/2 hour before grilling. Very simple and quite good. Hope you enjoy.
