Author Notes
In college I bartended at Legal Seafood Restaurant in Cambridge, a New England institution. They made a fantastic swordfish kebab. Years later, when I lived in Europe I tried to create a marinade inspired by Legal's kebabs. This is the recipe I came up with, and since then it has been my go-to marinade for grilled fish. It also works well with salmon, halibut or any other steak-like fish. —TasteFood
