SWORDFISH WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS



Swordfish With Sweet and Hot Peppers image

A blissful blend of the reliably sweet (bell peppers, cubanelles, peperoncini) and the reliably fiery (Serranos, chile de arbol, Scotch bonnets) creates blissful balance. Here, the sweet peppers are sautéed slowly with onions to intensify their gentle honeyed character. Half of the hot chiles are left raw, sharp and biting to create as much contrast as possible. Eaten altogether, each bite is both hot and sweet, pungent from a touch of garlic, tart from a squeeze of lemon and faintly saline from the swordfish.

Tips:

  • To choose the freshest swordfish, look for fish that has a mild, briny smell and flesh that is firm and opaque.
  • When roasting the red peppers, be sure to keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. You can also roast the peppers ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can substitute dried basil. However, be sure to use only 1/4 of the amount of dried basil, as it is more concentrated than fresh basil.
  • The roasted red pepper vinaigrette can also be used as a marinade for grilled or roasted chicken or vegetables.
