Garlic-Pepper Swordfish with Parsley Salsa

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed - divided use
• 1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Cooking Procedures:

1. Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 4 crushed garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let sit at room temperature to steep.
2. Preheat grill.
3. Meanwhile place parsley and remaining garlic in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, capers, mustard, half the salt and pepper and process until smooth; transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
