Grilled Swordfish with Pimentón Aioli

[Jerome D.]

Some nice fresh swordfish was on sale today, so that's what was on the menu for tonight. I found a recipe on the NY Times website that looked pretty interesting, and I just happened to have all the ingredients for it. The swordfish came out pretty good, and I'd definitely use this recipe again. Thanks to all for stopping by!


Started off with some good quality smoked Spanish paprika, aka pimentón, and first made the seasoning paste with the pimentón, salt, pepper, and finely minced garlic. Next I made the aioli to serve as the sauce by mixing some mayonnaise, pimentón, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and lemon juice.



Here are a couple shots of the swordfish steaks, unseasoned and rubbed with the seasoning paste. Action shots are also shown below, with the night photo of the grill providing me with an unpleasant reminder that the days are getting shorter and shorter.



And finally, the plated photo.

Thanks Jerome. I usually cover my swordfish with mayo and now have a new seasoning to try. Good pictures.
