Heinen’s Wild Caught Swordfish Steaks come to the dinner rescue with this super simple meal.
Swordfish is a firm and meaty fish, perfect for grilling up fast with a slather of salty olive tapenade on top. Slice some fennel and grape tomatoes to grill alongside and you have a complete meal good enough for company.

Ingredients
- 4 6 oz. Heinen’s Wild Caught Swordfish Steaks, thawed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil for brushing the filets and grill rack
- 1/4 cup jarred store bought tapenade
- Finely minced chives and lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare a grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and season lightly with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the fish with a little oil and brush some on the grill racks or grill pan so the fish doesn’t stick.
- Lay the fish on the hot grill racks or grill pan and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn gently with a thin spatula so that the fish doesn’t tear and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until the filets feel firm when pressed. It takes about 7 minutes to cook a 1-inch thick piece of fish and these filets are closer to 1/2-inch.
- Transfer the fish to heated serving plates and the spread tapenade over the top. Garnish with fresh chives and lemon wedges.
Extra Hungry: Toss sliced fennel and grape tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and grill them in a grill basket alongside the fish. Start the veggies about 5 minutes before you put the fish on the grill and they will be done at about the same time.
In the Glass: Look for a crisp Pinot Grigio from the Alto Adige in Italy. Crisp and lean with a touch of fruit, Santa Margarita is one of my favorites.
