Categories     Fish

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ( 3/4 - to 1-pound) swordfish steaks
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 pound whole cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons slivered basil leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel on both sides. Season each side with a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside. 2. Heat the olive oil, garlic and fennel seeds in a skillet over medium heat until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant, about 3 minutes. 3. Lay the swordfish steaks on top of the garlic and fennel seeds and cook until they turn white on the cooked side, 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over, laying them on top of any excess garlic and fennel seeds and cook another 5 minutes. 4. Add the white wine and tomatoes, cover the pan tightly and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the meat is easily penetrated with a skewer or paring knife (the swordfish must be well-done or it will be fibrous). Timing will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks -- thin steaks may take less than 5 minutes while very thick steaks may take as long as 15 minutes. 5. Remove the lid and transfer the swordfish to a heated platter. Increase the heat under the skillet to high and cook until the liquid in the pan reduces to a syrupy sauce, about 5 minutes. Pour any liquid that has collected in the platter into the sauce and stir in the basil. 6. Pour the sauce over the swordfish steaks and serve immediately.

This recipe is a bit pricey for me. Swordfish is a relatively expensive fish, and the other ingredients can also add up.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover swordfish. I always have some leftover after I make fish tacos, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of fennel and tomatoes seems a bit strange to me.

The fish was overcooked and the sauce was too acidic. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to spice it up.
