BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Baked Fish with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers image

For this full-flavored weeknight dinner, fish fillets are baked with a quickly assembled tomato sauce flavored with olives, capers, garlic and oregano. Baking the fish in the sauce makes it difficult to overcook, and has the convenient benefit of being served with simply boiled potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 6-ounce snapper or black sea bass fillets, pin bones removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small white onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves, preferably fresh
1 28-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 pound baby Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, quartered
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Rub the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper; place skin-side down in the dish.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 teaspoon oregano and the bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour the tomato mixture all over the fish. Bake until the fish is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a steady simmer and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon oregano; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the fish among plates. Spoon the tomato mixture over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with the potatoes.

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

GRILLED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH WHOLE-LEMON DRESSING



Grilled Swordfish Steaks With Whole-Lemon Dressing image

Tender grilled swordfish steaks are topped with a bright, garlicky Mediterranean-inspired dressing of chopped whole lemon and oregano.

Provided by Rebecca Firkser

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (4-6-oz.) swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick)
7 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 large lemon
5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 Tbsp. capers (not drained)
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat four 4-6-oz. swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick) dry with paper towels, then coat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with kosher salt; set aside while you make the dressing.
  • Using a sharp chef's knife, trim ends from 1 large lemon; slice into thick rounds and remove seeds. Very finely chop lemon rounds (peel, pith, and flesh) and transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, you can pulse in a food processor.) Mix in 5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. capers (not drained), 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in 6 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Place reserved swordfish steaks on grill; cover and grill fish, turning once, until flesh is opaque and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130°F for medium-rare) and steaks release easily from grate, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Spoon some dressing over swordfish and serve with remaining dressing alongside. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Tips:

  • To ensure the swordfish remains moist, avoid overcooking it. The best way to check for doneness is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet; it should flake easily.
  • If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute green olives or chopped pickles.
  • Fresh tomatoes are best for this recipe, but you can use canned diced tomatoes if necessary. If using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the pan.
  • Fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or thyme will add a delicious flavor to this dish. Add them towards the end of cooking so they don't lose their flavor.
  • Serve this dish with a side of rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Swordfish with tomatoes and capers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The swordfish is cooked to perfection and the tomatoes and capers add a bright and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
