Firm, lean flesh makes swordfish ideal for grilling. Remove it from the grill when the center is still slightly pink and it should complete the cooking by the time you serve it. Balsamic vinaigrette flavored with Meyer lemons makes a simple, zest marinade for the swordfish. Meyer lemons are a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange. They have a distinctive orange-lemon flavor, making them less acidic than Eureka (regular) lemons. Look for them in larger supermarkets and specialty food stores from November through January, or substitute regular lemons in this recipe. The simple salad of kale, tomato and onion pairs perfectly with this fish. You can substitute spinach for the kale if you prefer.
