STUFFED SWORDFISH

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 pound peeled and deveined finely chopped shrimp
1 to 2 tablespoons white wine
1/2 cup or so soft fresh bread crumbs
1/2 ounce grated or finely sliced mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons rinsed capers, chopped
2 to 4 basil leaves, scissored into threads
Salt and pepper
12 ounces swordfish cut into 6 thin slices
Lemon wedges for garnish
4 pitted black olives, sliced

Steps:

  • In a small skillet heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and shrimp and saute for a minute or just until the shrimp turns opaque. Add the white wine and boil down until evaporated. Sprinkle on fresh bread crumbs enough to hold the mixture together. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cheese, capers and basil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a grill or the oven to 375 degrees. Place the swordfish slices down on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the shrimp stuffing over the slices, to within 1/2 inch of edge and pat into the fish. Roll up and tie into rolls or secure with tooth picks. (If this is too hard to handle, then put stuffing over one slice, and top it with other half like a sandwich; secure with toothpicks.) Thread 3 rolls on a long bamboo skewer (or put "sandwiches" on a baking sheet) bake (on a cookie sheet) or grill for 10 to 15 minutes or until flesh is firm to the touch. Serve immediately garnished with lemon and olives.

CURRIED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, GREENS AND GARLIC TOAST



Curried Swordfish With Tomatoes, Greens and Garlic Toast image

For a decade, swordfish was dangerously overfished. Over time, the North Atlantic swordfish stock has been rebuilt, and swordfish caught by American vessels are now sustainably fished. One thing hasn't changed: Handled incorrectly, swordfish can be tough or dry. Searing, then steaming with the moisture that comes from braising greens and ripe, on-the-vine tomatoes, yields a moist and succulent steak. Make sure to use small grape or cherry tomatoes. When the tomatoes burst, the juices meld with the curry powder and the fat (ghee or oil) for a flavorful, spoonable sauce. Drizzle any extra over garlicky bread with a generous squeeze of lemon. If you don't have ghee, cook the fish in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil, which will give you all the high-heat flexibility of ghee with the rich, flavorful finish of butter.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 (8-ounce) swordfish steaks
1 small bunch mustard greens or other braising greens, like kale or chard (about 6 ounces), stemmed and torn into big bite-size pieces
10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes
1 ciabatta loaf or baguette, sliced
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat the ghee or oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Stir together the curry, paprika, salt and pepper. Pat the swordfish dry, and season on both sides with the spice mixture. Cook one side of the fish without moving it, until it is golden and releases easily, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip the fish, add the greens and tomatoes (on the vine), scattering evenly over the top of the fish. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and cook over medium heat until greens are wilted, tomatoes have burst and fish is just cooked through but still very moist, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread: While warm, rub each piece vigorously with the garlic clove.
  • Remove the fish from the heat and serve immediately, with toasted garlic bread, spooning the juices from the pan over each portion. Squeeze lemon over the top.

  • Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the swordfish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs not only infuses it with flavor but also helps to tenderize it.
  • Cook the swordfish properly: Swordfish is best cooked over high heat to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside moist and flaky. You can grill, pan-sear, or broil the fish, depending on your preference.
  • Top the swordfish with cheese: The type of cheese you use is up to you, but some good options include Parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar. Grating the cheese before topping the swordfish ensures even melting and browning.
  • Serve the swordfish immediately: Once cooked, swordfish should be served immediately to prevent it from drying out. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:
