Swordfish-Bacon Kebabs with Cilantro Gremolata
Serves 4
1 cup chopped cilantro
3 lemons, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 stalks lemongrass, white part only, finely minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 slices of bacon
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 1/2 pounds center-cut swordfish, cut into 1x1-inch cubes
4-8 long satay skewers, soaked in water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooking spray
Prepare a hot grill, sprayed slick. In a bowl, combine the cilantro, lemon
zest and juice, garlic, lemongrass and extra virgin olive oil. Season with
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Assemble the kebabs by
first skewering one end of the bacon and following with swordfish cube. Weave
the bacon in between the swordfish and tomato as you thread each onto the
skewer. Lay the kebabs in a dish and take 1/3 of the gremolata and rub all
over kebabs. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes. Season the kebabs with salt
and pepper and grill until bacon is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Plate
using a satay plate and serve with remaining gremolata in dipping bowl.
