Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4  (6-ounce) swordfish steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
  • 1/4  cup  dry white wine
  • 1/4  cup  fresh lime juice
  • 1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1  teaspoon  Dijon mustard
  • 1  teaspoon  grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/2  teaspoon  coarsely ground pepper
  • 1/2  teaspoon  dark sesame oil
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 4  cups  trimmed arugula
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Cut a horizontal slit through one side of each steak to form a deep pocket; set aside. Combine wine and next 7 ingredients (wine through garlic) in a large shallow dish; stir well. Add steaks, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

Remove steaks from marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle salt into pockets of steaks; set aside. Add arugula to marinade; toss well. Remove arugula from marinade; discard marinade. Stuff about 3/4 cup arugula into each pocket; secure each pocket with a wooden pick.

Prepare grill. Place swordfish steaks on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Possibly I need to use fresh-from-the market fish? I bought prepackaged frozen swordfish steaks which were good but not great. I also used a mixture of spinach and leftover beet greens for the stuffing which was VERY good and had a great flavor but might have been a bit too salty. My husband really liked the saltiness. About half way through, the salt and swordfish taste got to be too much for me but not for him. Good solid recipe with the potential to be great. We had it with grilled corn on the cob...07/22/08

This was so easy and soooo good. The key is VERY fresh fish. My husband caught it and we ate it less than 24 hrs. later and are doing it again tonight. Excellent!!!!!08/06/05
