Ingredients
Approx. 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz) swordfish, cut in 2.5 cm (1 in) cubes
Fresh bay leaves
Marinade
2 cloves garlic
1 chilli
Maldon sea salt
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
1 cup virgin olive oil
Instructions
String fish cubes on wooden or steel skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them first in water, so that they will not burn on the grill). After every third fish cube add a fresh bay leaf on the skewer.
In a mortar, mix all marinade ingredients together well. Pour this marinade over fish skewers and let rest for about 15 minutes.
Grill the fish on a very hot grill for about 3–4 minutes, turning the skewers from side to side so that the fish is nicely coloured all over.
