- 1 pound boned, skinned swordfish or ahi
- 2 lemons
- 10 fresh or dried bay leaves (3 to 4 in.), cut in half crosswise
- 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil
- Coarse salt (sea or kosher)
- Preheat barbecue grill. Rinse swordfish, drain, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Cut 1 lemon in half lengthwise, then cut halves crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Discard seeds. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Thread swordfish onto metal skewers (10 to 12 in. long), separating each piece alternately with a lemon slice, then a bay leaf half. Brush filled skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Lightly oil grill and place skewers over a solid bed of hot coals or on high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook, turning skewers as needed to brown all sides, until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 8 minutes.
- Remove fish, lemon, and bay leaves from skewers, dividing them evenly among 4 dinner plates. (If desired, remove bay leaves, since they are not meant to be eaten.) Add additional salt and juice from lemon wedges to taste.
