STRACCETTI DI PESCE SPADA
Steps:
- Slice the swordfish into 1/2 by 2-inch strips. Dust with flour and toss to evenly coat. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil with garlic and chile peppers. Remove the garlic when golden brown. Shake off the excess flour from the swordfish strips and carefully place into hot olive oil. Season with salt and when the fish is golden in color, add the white wine. Let the wine reduce a little and then add the tomatoes. Reduce the tomatoes for approximately 3 minutes and add the black olives. Place on large plate and serve with fresh arugula.
PESCE SPADA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl whisk together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic and salt and pepper. In a shallow dish coat the fish steaks with the mixture and let marinate, covered and chilled, for 15 minutes. Arrange the fish in a foil lined baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish is just cooked. In a bowl toss the tomatoes with the basil and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the fish to serving plates and top each with some of the tomato/basil salad. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garnish with lemon wedges.
BRACIOLINE DI PESCE SPADA ALLA MESSINESE
Steps:
- With a mezzaluna or a very sharp knife, finely mince 1 cup of the mint and parsley together with the garlic to a fine paste and transfer it to a large bowl. Lightly pan-roast the pine nuts. Add the olives, raisins, and any residual liquid and the pine nuts to the bowl along with the capers, pecorino, bread crumbs, and the egg. Generously grind on the pepper. Work the elements to a well-amalgamated paste. The pecorino and capers should be salty enough to flavor the paste, but after tasting it, add a bit more if you wish.
- Lay the bracioline on a work surface and pound them lightly but firmly with a mallet, thinning the flesh a bit. Spread each steak with a good tablespoon of the paste, roll it into a fat little sausage shape, and secure the braciolina with a toothpick. Over a lively flame, heat the oil in a large sauté pan and very quickly cook the bracioline, sautéing them well but taking only a minute or so to do it so as not to overcook the fish. Remove the bracioline to a holding plate.
- When all are cooked, discard any remaining oil and rinse the pan with the 2/3 cup of Malvasia, scraping and stirring and permitting the wine to reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the bracioline and present them, strewn with 1/2 cup mint leaves, warm or at room temperature.
- Sacrificing the beauty of the sauce, one could skewer the bracioline onto well-soaked grapevine twigs, olive wood twigs, thick branches of rosemary, or metal skewers, alternating them with bay leaves and roasting them over a very hot wood fire for a minute or two on each side, basting them with olive oil. They'll need some accessory-a spoonful of warm tomato vinaigrette would do nicely.
PESCE SPADA IN PADELLA ALLA SENAPE
This is pan-fried swordfish with a stoneground mustard sauce. We usually bbq our swordfish. My dh prefers his fish plain with just salt and pepper so when I can get him to eat them a different way, its a happy day for me. This is a lovely alternative that even my picky dh will eat. Another treat from Umberto Menghi's Seafood Cookbook.

Tips:
- To ensure the swordfish is cooked evenly, slice it into pieces of uniform thickness. This will help it cook through at the same rate.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute another type of mustard, such as yellow or brown mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a sharper flavor that pairs well with the swordfish.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute another type of dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, heavy cream will give the sauce a richer flavor.
- To make the sauce even more flavorful, you can add a tablespoon of capers or chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.
- Serve the swordfish with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
