2
tablespoons olive or canola oil
2
tablespoons capers
2
tablespoons lemon juice
1
tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2
teaspoon pepper
2
flat anchovy fillets in oil
2
cloves garlic

cup uncooked quinoa
1
cup water
  • 1 In food processor or blender, cover and process all ingredients except swordfish, quinoa and water until smooth.
  • 2 In ungreased 11x7-inch glass baking dish, place swordfish. Pour marinade over swordfish. Cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes but no longer than 1 hour, turning swordfish occasionally.
  • 3 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove swordfish from marinade; reserve marinade.
  • 4 Cover and grill swordfish over MEDIUM-HIGH heat 5 minutes, brushing frequently with marinade. Turn carefully; brush generously with marinade. Grill 5 to 10 minutes longer or until swordfish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade.
  • 5 While swordfish is grilling, rinse quinoa thoroughly; drain. In 2-quart saucepan, heat quinoa and water to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Expert Tips

Tuna or salmon steaks could also be used in place of the swordfish. The grilling times will stay the same.
