Ingredients:
Fish
- 6 swordfish steaks, weighing 170-220 g (approximately 1 cm thick)
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
- Juice of half an orange
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp crushed cumin seeds
- Vegetable oil for greasing
Potato salad
- 0.7 kg small red potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp chopped cumin seeds
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 110 g smoked chorizo sausage, diced
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or chives
- 3 stalks celery (with leaves), chopped
- 1/4 cup piquillo peppers, chopped
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, honey, thyme, cumin seeds, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Add the fish and turn to coat all pieces with the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for about 1 minute; transfer to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and chorizo to the skillet and cook until the sausage begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Remove the skillet from the heat; discard the fat.
- Make potato salad.
Add vinegar and herbs to the bowl with the cumin, then stir in the fat from the pan. Add the celery, piquillo pepper, potatoes, and chorizo; stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the fish.
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat; lightly oil the grates. Place the fish on the grill and brush lightly with the marinade from the bowl. Grill until charred on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until done, about 4 more minutes. Transfer the fish to plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato salad.
