  • Swordfish, though something of an exotic guest around here, is very popular thanks to its outstanding flavor. It's ideal for fish kebabs: there are almost no small bones, and the meat is firm and delicious. The nice thing about this fish is that it keeps its firmness when cooked. So let's get started :) For kebabs, choose fish steaks about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Rinse them, blot them dry with paper towels, and lay them on a cutting board. Cut the steaks into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Put the fish pieces in a zip-top bag. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, ground black pepper, anchovy paste, chopped thyme, and salt. Seal the bag and mix everything, "massaging" the fish through the bag so the seasonings coat it evenly. Lay the bag flat on a wide plate and refrigerate. Marinate the fish for one hour. While it marinates, prep the skewers: put them in a container that fits, cover them with water, and let them soak for one hour as well. Near the end of the marinating time, heat the grill — it should be good and hot. Take the marinated fish out of the bag and thread the pieces onto the skewers, spacing them apart. Grill the fish for two minutes per side; it cooks and browns quickly. Arrange the finished kebabs on a serving plate, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve while they're still hot. Round out the dish with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
