Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Two 8-ounce swordfish steaks, about 1 inch thick
Freshly ground black pepper
1 orange, peeled and cut into slices
1/2 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Rub the pepper into the swordfish steaks and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the orange slices, onion, cilantro and olive oil in a bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the swordfish steaks and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve the fish with the salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right swordfish steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
  • Season the swordfish simply: Swordfish has a delicate flavor, so it's important not to overpower it with seasoning. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
  • Sear the swordfish over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Don't overcook the swordfish: Swordfish is a quick-cooking fish, so it's important to cook it for just a few minutes per side. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Serve the swordfish immediately: Swordfish is best served hot off the grill. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a simple sauce.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared swordfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its firm, meaty texture and delicate flavor, swordfish is a great choice for grilling, pan-searing, or baking. By following these tips, you can cook swordfish perfectly every time.
