Ingredients
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds swordfish, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium head of fennel, cut into 1-inch pieces
1-pint grape or cherry tomatoes
8 metal or wooden skewers
Directions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least an hour before grilling.
- Fire up the grill to 350°F.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard in a small bowl and gently mix together. Whisk in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Alternate adding the pieces of swordfish, fennel, and tomatoes onto the skewers.
- Sprinkle each skewer with salt and pepper.
- Paint each skewer with the balsamic mixture.
- Place each skewer on the grill over indirect heat and cook until there are grill marks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Use tongs to turn the skewers and cook for 3-5 more minutes.
- Continue to rotate the skewers and grill until all sides are cooked and have slight grill marks.
Pro tip: Lightly oil the grates with olive oil before grilling the swordfish. This will keep the meat from sticking to the grates.
