Servings:

1Tbsp

cooking oil 1

cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice 1Tbsp

chopped fresh dill 1teaspoons

fresh-ground black pepper 567grams

plum tomatoes (about 6), halved crosswise 1teaspoon

salt 4

swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds in all)2teaspoons

lemon juice or wine vinegar

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Skyfall Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
