Tips & Tricks for Cooking Perfect Swordfish with Macadamia Crust and an Enriching Splash of Lemon Butter Sauce

- Selecting the Best Swordfish: Opt for swordfish steaks that are firm to the touch, have a mild fishy odor, and are free of any discoloration. - Preparing the Macadamia Crust: Crush the macadamia nuts into fine crumbs using a food processor or a mortar and pestle. Mix the crumbs with Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon zest, and parsley to create a flavorful coating. - Achieving a Crispy Crust: Before applying the macadamia crust, coat the swordfish steaks with a mixture of olive oil and melted butter. This helps the crust adhere better and ensures an irresistibly crispy texture. - Cooking the Swordfish: Pan-searing is an excellent method for cooking swordfish. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, you can bake the swordfish in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. - Balancing Flavors with Lemon Butter Sauce: Enhance the flavors of the swordfish by preparing a simple yet delectable lemon butter sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan and add lemon juice, capers, and parsley. Simmer the sauce until thickened and pour it over the cooked swordfish steaks. - Garnishing for Visual Appeal: Finely chop some fresh parsley or chives and sprinkle them over the cooked swordfish before serving. This adds a vibrant touch of color and freshness to the dish. ###
