Nestor PT: The Ideal Treatment For Low Back Pain

Wood Fired Swordfish

I’m often asked if Barbecue University is a real place when people see my diploma on the wall in the clinic. Well, it’s a real place and it was started 20+ years ago by my friend, Steven Raichlen. Here we are on the Steinhatchee River in Florida where his TV show “Project Fire” was filmed (we are actually out fishing). Steven invited me to be the “Fire Wrangler” for the shooting of the show. I was responsible for putting all the grills and smokers together, cleaning the grills/smokers, and making sure there was always hot charcoal or wood ready. This month’s recipe is inspired by an episode in season two of Project Fire called “Wood Fired Swordfish”.

Start with fresh swordfish and trim the steaks so they are all the same size. Season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. The grill was set up for direct grilling. Instead of putting charcoal in the chimney starter I used wood chunks. Wood will burn hotter and faster than regular charcoal so be ready. Once the wood was burning, I set up a 2-zone fire. One area for cooking and one cool zone if the there are flare-ups. Make sure you oil the grate, so the fish doesn’t stick. The swordfish steaks were basted with a butter, garlic, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and fresh herb mixture while cooking. (see picture). The swordfish steaks take 3-4 mins a side. Turn each steak a quarter turn while cooking to get the cool grill marks. I also grilled lemons to squeeze over the swordfish steaks for serving. I made a grilled pineapple salsa to spoon over the swordfish. The swordfish was served family style with smoke roasted carrots with thyme brown butter, and smoke roasted rosemary garlic potatoes. Enjoy! P.S. You’ve all seen my brisket recipe in the past, but if you want more... check out Steven’s newest book “Brisket Chronicles”. It will be released this month!
