Marinated
Swordfish Kabobs
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups vegetable oil
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- For the marinade: Combine
the garlic, ginger and lemon juice in a nonreactive mixing bowl.
Whisk in the oil a little at a time. Add the bay leaf, salt and
pepper. Place the swordfish in a nonreactive container or a 1-gallon
zip-lock plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the swordfish and
refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove the swordfish from the marinade
and thread it onto presoaked bamboo skewers.
- To grill, lightly brush
the grill with vegetable oil. Lay the swordfish kabobs on the
grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning often and basting
with the warm marinade. Because of the high oil content of the
marinade, baste sparingly to avoid grill flare-up. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.
Cooking Tip: To cook indoors,
preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Arrange the swordfish
kabobs on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes,
basting with the marinade and turning after the first 5 minutes.
