Ingredients:
| 8 oz. each 1-inch-thick swordfish fillets |
| Grated zest of 3 lemons, plus 2 halved lemons |
| 10 cloves garlic, smashed |
| 2 cups olive oil, plus more for the grill |
| 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped |
| 1 tablespoon Ottoman spice or Aleppo pepper |
| 1/2 small red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick |
| 1 small jalapeno pepper |
| 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar |
| 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
| 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint |
| Juice of 1/2 lime |
| Kosher salt |
| 2 avocados, pitted and quartered (skin on) |
| 1 bunch watercress, trimmed |
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, the thyme and Ottoman spice; be sure to mix well. Divide marinade & swordfish between two 1-gallon zip-top bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the red onion and jalapeno until marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the red onion to a bowl, top with the vinegar and cover with plastic wrap, trapping the steam inside to finish the cooking process. Peel, seed and chop the jalapeno.
- Make the salsa verde: In a bowl combine the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, mint, lime juice and remaining 1 cup olive oil. Once cool enough to touch, remove the onion from the vinegar and coarsely chop, then add the onion along with the vinegar to the salsa verde; season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and mix well.
- Remove the swordfish from the marinade, shake off the excess and season with kosher salt. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Grill the swordfish 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and grill 2 more minutes to create crosshatch grill marks, then flip and grill until just opaque, about 2 more minutes. Increase the grill heat to high. Grill the halved lemons and the avocados cut-side down until marked, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Dress the watercress with some of the salsa verde on a platter. Top with the swordfish, avocado and more salsa. Garnish with the grilled lemons. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.
