Lemon Thyme Swordfish With Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until creamy. Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl, and stir in the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon juice, parsley, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the fish in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour the water and the remaining lemon juice into the dish. Place the bay leaf in the water, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme over the fish. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.
• Meanwhile, place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• When fish is done, transfer to a serving platter and arrange the asparagus next to the fish. Serve with the cottage cheese sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, oil, rosemary and garlic on a large, shallow platter or a tray large enough to hold the swordfish steaks in a single layer. Add the swordfish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Brush the grill or broiler pan with a thin film of oil. Just before serving time, preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the swordfish to grill or broiler pan, reserve the marinade left on the platter. If broiling, adjust the oven rack so that the tops of the fish are about 3 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat. Using a spatula, carefully turn each steak. Spoon any marinade and pieces of lemon zest and rosemary onto the tops of the steaks. Broil until lightly browned and the center of the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve garnished with capers and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Place the swordfish in a shallow bowl.
• Whisk the lemon juice, shallots, garlic, mustard, oil and thyme in a small bowl; season with the pepper.
• Pour over the swordfish.
• Marinate, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes, or in the fridge for several hours.
• Set up your gas or charcoal grill and brush the grill rack with oil.
• Arrange the swordfish on the rack; grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until seared on the outside and cooked through.

Steps:

• Get a really large frying pan, or 2 smaller ones, on the heat and add a glug of olive oil. Score the skin of your fish fillets all over, about 1/2-inch deep, and season. Put the fish fillets into the pan, skin side down, with the squid tentacles. Add the scallops. Run your knife down 1 side of each squid to open them out, then quickly and lightly score the inside in a crisscross fashion. Lay them in the pan, scored side down. Add the asparagus and gently shake the pan. Cook for a few minutes, then turn everything over and cook on the other side. Sprinkle over the thyme tips.
• You're the one in control of the pan, so if something looks cooked, take it out and keep it warm. Don't watch things burn! When the fish has crispy skin, the scallops are golden brown with caramelized edges and the squid has curled up and is nicely charred, remove the pan from the heat. Put the squid on a chopping board and roughly slice it into pieces at an angle, then return to the pan. Lay the fish fillets on each plate. Toss the asparagus, scallops and squid with half the chile, a good drizzle of good quality extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Lightly season and mix together. Divide on top of the plated fish. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped chile and the fennel tops, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the artichokes, tomatoes, lemon, olives, and herbs. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss together. Take an 18-inch piece of aluminum foil and fold it in half crosswise. Fold a 1-inch strip on each side over twice, once to close and once to seal; you should now have a pouch. Repeat for 3 more pouches. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place 1 into each pouch. Add 1/4 of the artichoke mixture to each pouch. Fold over a 1-inch strip of the top twice to seal. Place the packets onto a sheet pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Carefully open the pouches and place the fish and vegetables onto warm plates. Spoon any juices that have accumulated over the fish. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until creamy. Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl, and stir in the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon juice, parsley, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the fish in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour the water and the remaining lemon juice into the dish. Place the bay leaf in the water, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme over the fish. Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.
• Meanwhile, place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• When fish is done, transfer to a serving platter and arrange the asparagus next to the fish. Serve with the cottage cheese sauce.

Steps:

• Have a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it standing by.
• Prepare the artichokes by first removing half of the outer green leaves.
• Cut the top half or two-thirds off of the artichoke and discard.
• Dip the cut artichoke into the lemon water.
• Continue to remove any leaves that have any green colour to them as they are tough (it may look like you are wasting a lot, but you really don't want to eat the green parts- trust me).
• Cut off the stem where it joins to the base of the artichoke (which is the flower), dip in the lemon water and set aside.
• Once only the inner, yellow part of the artichoke remains, cut the it in half lengthwise and scrape out the hairy choke with a teaspoon.
• Dip the halves in the lemon water again, then cut each half into three or four wedges, lengthwise.
• Place the artichoke pieces in the bowl of lemon water.
• They will keep there without going brown until you are ready to cook them.
• If the stem of the artichoke was in good shape (nice and crispy, not brown and limp), cut off the outer green part, as the inner, pale part and the base of the flower are edible (and may even be the best parts).
• Chop into pieces of about the same size as the artichoke wedges and add to the lemon water.
• Repeat with the other artichoke.
• To prepare the asparagus, remove the woody base of the stem by snapping at the lowest point it will break naturally.
• Discard the tough bases.
• Cut off the asparagus tips and set aside.
• Cut the remaining stems into approximately 3 cm lengths.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add salt and cook the fettuccine according to the packet instructions.
• When cooked al dente, pour in some cold water to stop the cooking, then drain in a colander.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil (or oil and butter) in a medium, heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat, then add the shallots and garlic and sauté gently until softened.
• Add the lemon thyme leaves (just strip them straight off the stems and throw them in) and stir.
• Drain the artichoke pieces and add them along with the asparagus pieces (but not the tips) to the pan.
• Sauté gently until the asparagus is about half cooked.
• Add the asparagus tips and continue to sauté, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender.
• Once the pasta and the vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat, and combine them in one pan.
• Add the Pecorino cheese and salt and pepper to taste, and stir together.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sauce:.
• In a large saute pan over medium-low heat, cook onions and fennel in the olive oil for about 10 minutes (until vegetables are soft.).
• Add garlic to vegetables and saute for about 30 seconds.
• Add tomatoes, salt and pepper to the mix and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
• Add chicken stock and wine and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• Add basil, butter and capers and saute for one more minute.
• Fish:.
• Brush swordfish with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill on high heat for five minutes per side.
• Serve fish on top of sauce in a pasta bowl/dish. Garnish with fresh basil.
• Enjoy with a nice glass of white wine!

Steps:

• Melt butter with oil and thyme sprigs in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in single layer; using tongs, toss to coat. Sauté, turning often, until crisp-tender and beginning to brown in spots, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a baking pan lined with heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the thyme, salt and pepper. , Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Steps:

• Heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the crushed garlic clove, the lemon zest, thyme, and a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir it to coat it in the oil. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
• In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, and about 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Add the salmon fillets and turn them around in the mixture until all the fillets are completely coated. Let the salmon sit while you prepare the beets and get the asparagus going.
• Fill a large skillet with about a 1/2 inch of water. Place the skillet over high heat with a lid or some aluminum foil on top to bring it up to a boil faster. Once it is boiling, add a little salt and the trimmed asparagus. If you have pencil-thin asparagus about 2 minutes will do the trick; if you have thick asparagus then 3 to 4 minutes. You want them to be tender but to remain bright green and keep a bite to them. Once cooked, drain and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Reserve the asparagus.
• While the asparagus is cooking, with a paring knife, peel the skin from the beet. You might want to place some paper towels on your cutting board to avoid beet-juice stains. Once the beet is peeled give your knife, your cutting board, and the peeled beet a rinse to make it a no-stray-grit zone. Using the large hole side of a box grater, grate the beet over a plate. Or, use the grating attachment on your food processor. (I can't find mine.)
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO. Remove the salmon from the lemon mixture and season it with a little salt. Add the salmon to the hot skillet and cook it on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just cooked through.
• While the salmon is cooking, return the skillet you cooked the asparagus in to the stove over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO, and when the oil is hot add the grated beets, chopped garlic, and onions. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the beets are sneaking up on getting tender, stirring frequently. Add the white wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until you only have about 1/2 cup of liquids left in the skillet. Add the reserved cooked asparagus and heat through. Turn the heat off and add the basil and the butter, then stir it until the butter melts.
• Add the chopped parsley to the rice. Using a fork, fluff the rice. While you are fluffing, keep your eyes peeled for the clove of garlic, fish it out, and discard.
• To serve, arrange the salmon fillets on 4 serving plates and top them with some of the beet sauce and asparagus. Serve the rice alongside.

Steps:

• Bring broth to boil in large pot. Add asparagus; cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, transfer asparagus to large bowl of ice water. Reserve 1 cup broth in small bowl. Drain asparagus; pat dry. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap asparagus in paper towels. Seal in plastic bag. Cover broth. Chill asparagus and broth.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup green onions, shallots and sugar. Sauté until onions and shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in reserved 1 cup broth, 1 tablespoon oil, mustard, lemon juice, thyme and lemon peel. Simmer until slightly thickened and liquid is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.
• Arrange asparagus on platter. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup green onions and bell peppers.

Steps:

• Wipe the swordfish dry with paper towels. Combine two tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Brush the mixture on the swordfish and marinate for one hour.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Meanwhile, soften the shallots in the remaining tablespoon olive oil over low heat and add the tomatoes and rosemary. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• Broil the swordfish for five to seven minutes, turn and broil for about three minutes longer. Place on a serving dish or individual warm plates and place the tomato-rosemary mixture on the side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute asparagus and mushrooms in butter and oil until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add the asparagus, thyme, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon slices, and salt & pepper; stir to combine.
• Cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over cook.
• Arrange on serving platter and squeeze with fresh lemon juice.
• Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a shallow pan.
• Toss aparagus in the mixture and coat thoroughly. Cook immediately, or for more flavorful asparagus, let sit in fridge for twenty minutes.
• Fire up the grill and cook until asparagus are browned or until desired.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, basil, thyme, tarragon and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Herb sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Butter 8-inch square baking dish. Spread each side of swordfish steaks with 1 tablespoon herb sauce. Place in prepared dish and chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour wine over swordfish. Bake until fish is just cooked through, about 17 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve, passing remaining herb sauce separately.

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add asparagus and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 3-5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a large bowl, season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and toss to combine.
• Season swordfish all over with 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook swordfish, turning occasionally, until cooked through (fish will feel firm when pressed), about 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• Pour off any excess oil in pan. Pour in remaining 1/4 cup oil, then add herbes de Provence (no need to warm up the pan again). Add mustard and vinegar and whisk until sauce is creamy. Finely grate zest from lemon into sauce, then squeeze in juice lemon. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Let cool slightly.
• Pour three-quarters of dressing over asparagus. Add frisée, cucumbers, and onion to bowl; season with remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper and toss to coat.
• Mound salad on platter next to swordfish. Spoon remaining dressing over.
