About this recipe
On the coasts of Sicily and southern Italy, swordfish (pesce spada) is the king of summer.
Its firm and mild flesh lends itself perfectly to grilling, but the secret of this recipe lies in the contrast.
The traditional 'gremolata' (lemon zest, garlic, and parsley) is reinvented here with a touch of fresh mint, which cuts through the natural fat of the fish and elevates the dish to a sublime aromatic experience.
Served on skewers, it is a light, elegant, and extremely quick dinner to prepare.
Instructions
1
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes beforehand so they don't burn on the grill.

Step 2
Cut the swordfish into regular cubes of about 3-4 cm. Wash and dry them well with paper towels.
You will need:
500 gFresh swordfish (or tuna/emperor)
3
Step 3
Assemble the skewers by alternating fish cubes and cherry tomatoes. Brush lightly with oil and salt.
You will need:
12 unitsCherry tomatoes (for skewering)10 mlExtra virgin olive oil
