Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb swordfish, cut into 1 1/2 " cubes
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • pinch cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon 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.
