1 1/2lbswordfish,cut into 1 1/2 " cubes
1/2tsppaprika
1/2tspsmoked paprika
pinchcayenne
1/2tspkosher salt
3tbspolive oil
1tsplemon juice
Instructions
If you are using wooden skewers, start soaking them now.
Toss the swordfish with the rest of the ingredients. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
Heat the grill on high or heat up a grill pan on medium high.
Thread the swordfish onto skewers and grill on high for 6-8 minutes, turning to brown all sides. The swordfish is done when the pieces reach a temperature of 130F.
Serve with romesco sauce or an aioli of your choice.
Notes
Wooden skewers: If you use wooden skewers they need to be soaked for at least 30 minutes and can be soaked for up to several hours.
Swordfish: For even cooking, cut the fish into equal sized pieces.
Aioli: If you want to use an aioli instead of the romesco sauce, I have two which would pair well: a Paprika Aioli in the recipe for Pinchos Morunos and a simple Garlic Aioli in the recipe for Spanish Tortillas.
Servings: This recipe will make 4 servings as a main course and 6-8 as a tapas.
