Pan Seared Swordfish Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the pepper into the swordfish steaks and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the orange slices, onion, cilantro and olive oil in a bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the swordfish steaks and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve the fish with the salsa.

Steps:

• Season the swordfish gently but evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the fish in the flour, patting off any excess.
• In a cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat grapeseed oil until just smoking over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted and bubbling, about 30 seconds.
• Place the swordfish in the pan and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Transfer the swordfish to a warm plate, and remove any excess fat from the sauté pan.
• While the pan is still hot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, sweat the shallots and cook until soft and cooked through, being careful not to brown. About 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and reduce by half.
• Add the capers and lemon juice, and cook for 1 minute.
• Take the pan off the heat, and add in the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, swirling the pan continuously to emulsify the butter.
• Add in the minced parsley, and season to taste.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish, and garnish with a lemon cheek and a parsley stem.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mash butter, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns, and lemon peel in small bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Add swordfish to skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn swordfish over and transfer to oven. Roast until just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer swordfish to plates. Add seasoned butter to same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until melted and bubbling. Pour butter sauce over swordfish and serve.
