Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried leaves
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (about 1/2 pound each)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

4 strips (1/2 by 3-inches) lemon zest

Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks.

PAN-COOKED ASPARAGUS AND MIXED FISH



Pan-Cooked Asparagus and Mixed Fish image

No matter what your budget, you can make this dish with all different types of fish. It's nice to try to get a mixture of oily and white fish fillets, alongside things like shellfish, shrimp and squid. You want everything to cook at the same time, so just make sure that whatever you use is all sliced up into pieces roughly the same size. You can cook it all together in a pan like I'm doing here or on the barbecue or, for a healthier way, you can steam it all - whichever, finish the dish off with extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and chile as these flavors all work so well with asparagus and fish.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
2 small red mullet or snapper fillets, scaled and pin-boned
1 royal porgy fillet or sea bass fillet, scaled, pin-boned and cut in 1/2
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small squid, gutted and cleaned, tentacles trimmed and reserved
2 to 4 freshly shelled scallops, cleaned and scored in a crisscross fashion
10 medium asparagus spears, woody ends removed
1 small handful thyme tips
1 fresh red chile, deseeded and chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 small handful fennel tops

Steps:

  • Get a really large frying pan, or 2 smaller ones, on the heat and add a glug of olive oil. Score the skin of your fish fillets all over, about 1/2-inch deep, and season. Put the fish fillets into the pan, skin side down, with the squid tentacles. Add the scallops. Run your knife down 1 side of each squid to open them out, then quickly and lightly score the inside in a crisscross fashion. Lay them in the pan, scored side down. Add the asparagus and gently shake the pan. Cook for a few minutes, then turn everything over and cook on the other side. Sprinkle over the thyme tips.
  • You're the one in control of the pan, so if something looks cooked, take it out and keep it warm. Don't watch things burn! When the fish has crispy skin, the scallops are golden brown with caramelized edges and the squid has curled up and is nicely charred, remove the pan from the heat. Put the squid on a chopping board and roughly slice it into pieces at an angle, then return to the pan. Lay the fish fillets on each plate. Toss the asparagus, scallops and squid with half the chile, a good drizzle of good quality extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Lightly season and mix together. Divide on top of the plated fish. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped chile and the fennel tops, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

LEMONY SALMON FILLETS WITH ASPARAGUS, SWEET BEET SAUCE, AND LEMON-THYME RICE



Lemony Salmon Fillets with Asparagus, Sweet Beet Sauce, and Lemon-Thyme Rice image

Categories     Sauce     Rice     Side     Lemon     Salmon     Asparagus     Beet     Thyme     Simmer     Boil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
4 garlic cloves, 1 crushed, 3 finely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/3 palmful
Salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cups chicken stock
4 salmon fillets
1 pound pencil-thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed, spears cut into 2-inch pieces
1 softball-size red beet
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup fresh basil, 20 leaves, chopped or torn
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the crushed garlic clove, the lemon zest, thyme, and a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir it to coat it in the oil. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, and about 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Add the salmon fillets and turn them around in the mixture until all the fillets are completely coated. Let the salmon sit while you prepare the beets and get the asparagus going.
  • Fill a large skillet with about a 1/2 inch of water. Place the skillet over high heat with a lid or some aluminum foil on top to bring it up to a boil faster. Once it is boiling, add a little salt and the trimmed asparagus. If you have pencil-thin asparagus about 2 minutes will do the trick; if you have thick asparagus then 3 to 4 minutes. You want them to be tender but to remain bright green and keep a bite to them. Once cooked, drain and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Reserve the asparagus.
  • While the asparagus is cooking, with a paring knife, peel the skin from the beet. You might want to place some paper towels on your cutting board to avoid beet-juice stains. Once the beet is peeled give your knife, your cutting board, and the peeled beet a rinse to make it a no-stray-grit zone. Using the large hole side of a box grater, grate the beet over a plate. Or, use the grating attachment on your food processor. (I can't find mine.)
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO. Remove the salmon from the lemon mixture and season it with a little salt. Add the salmon to the hot skillet and cook it on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  • While the salmon is cooking, return the skillet you cooked the asparagus in to the stove over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO, and when the oil is hot add the grated beets, chopped garlic, and onions. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the beets are sneaking up on getting tender, stirring frequently. Add the white wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until you only have about 1/2 cup of liquids left in the skillet. Add the reserved cooked asparagus and heat through. Turn the heat off and add the basil and the butter, then stir it until the butter melts.
  • Add the chopped parsley to the rice. Using a fork, fluff the rice. While you are fluffing, keep your eyes peeled for the clove of garlic, fish it out, and discard.
  • To serve, arrange the salmon fillets on 4 serving plates and top them with some of the beet sauce and asparagus. Serve the rice alongside.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 large fresh thyme sprigs
1 1/4 pounds slender asparagus spears, trimmed
Fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil and thyme sprigs in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in single layer; using tongs, toss to coat. Sauté, turning often, until crisp-tender and beginning to brown in spots, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use fresh lemon thyme for this recipe. If you don't have fresh lemon thyme, you can substitute 1 teaspoon dried lemon thyme, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Be careful not to overcook the swordfish. It should be cooked through but still flaky and moist. The best way to check if the swordfish is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out easily, the swordfish is done.
  • If you don't have asparagus, you can substitute another green vegetable, such as broccoli or green beans.
  • Serve the swordfish and asparagus immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

This lemon thyme swordfish with asparagus is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The swordfish is flaky and moist, the asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the lemon thyme sauce is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
