Mediterranean Swordfish With Tomatoes And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in large heavy skillet over high heat.
• Season swordfish generously with salt and pepper.
• Sauté until browned on both sides.
• Transfer fish to a platter.
• Add remaining ingredients to skillet and reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
• Transfer fish to the sauce and cook, turning once until the fish is firm to the touch and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Season the swordfish on both sides with salt and pepper. Wrap each steak with 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto, until just covered, without overlapping too much. Set aside.
• Using a paring knife, peel the oranges, removing all the white pith. Working over a mixing bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release the segments; add to the bowl. Add the raisins to the bowl so they plump while preparing the rest of the dish. Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs, reserving the fronds for garnish; remove the tough outer leaves. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise, trim the base and cut out the core. Slice the fennel into strips as thin as possible. Put the fennel slices in the bowl and add the olives, anchovies, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, the basil and fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to mix.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, carefully add 4 of the swordfish steaks and cook until the prosciutto is browned and crisp and the fish is just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and repeat with the remaining fish.
• Serve the fish over the fennel salad. Garnish with the arugula, cherry tomatoes and reserved fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Put tomatoes in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, capers, peppers, olives, lemon juice, pepper oil, and 4 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Stir gently just to mix and set aside at least 1 hour. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Mixture will become more liquid and sauce-like over time.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini until al dente. Drain and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve.
• To cook the fish: (See Chef's Note below if using waxed paper.) Place a small square of parchment or waxed paper at the bottom of each paper bag. Place small pile of linguini in each of the bags. Top with a spoonful of tomato sauce, making sure to moisten the linguini with the juices. Lay a piece of fish on top and arrange with another spoonful of sauce. Moisten again with juices from the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Fold over the tops of the bags, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the bags to 4 dinner plates and let each diner cut open the package to enjoy the aromas.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cut a slit in steak to create a pocket that is open on one side only. In a cup, mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice; brush over both sides of fish. Set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook spinach in oil until wilted. Remove from heat, and stuff into pocket. Place feta in pocket over spinach.
• Arrange fish on grill, and cook for 8 minutes. Turn over, and continue cooking until cooked through.

Steps:

• Soak raisins in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or skillet over high heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in raisins, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and capers. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place in a lightly oiled baking dish and cover with the cooked sauce. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until steaks are firm.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a deep skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown it well, rotating and turning it as necessary and sprinkling it with salt and pepper; the process should take less than 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the fish.
• Turn the heat to medium and add the garlic, capers, chiles, and olives. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute; add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Gently slide the fish into the sauce and cook, turning once, until it is tender, about 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, then garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except swordfish in a glass or ceramic dish (14 by 11 by 2 inches). Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 4 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven, uncover and stir well. Arrange pieces of fish in the dish so that the skin is toward the edge of the dish. Spoon some of the tomatoes over the fish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power for 10 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven and uncover. With a large spatula pile fish on a platter and allow to stand, loosely covered for about 3 minutes. Meanwhile transfer tomato mixture to a blender and process until smooth.
• Serve sauce over fish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In 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 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 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 thickness of your fish.
• Carefully open the pouches and place fish and vegetables onto warm plates.
• Spoon any juices that have accumulated over the fish.
• Serve immediately.
