Swordfish With Artichokes And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• For the sauce, cook the onions and fennel in the oil in a large saute pan on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the drained tomatoes, smashing them in the pan with a fork, plus the salt and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Add the chicken stock and white wine and simmer for 10 more minutes to reduce the liquid. Add the basil, capers, and butter and cook for 1 minute more.
• Prepare a grill with hot coals. Brush the swordfish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on high heat for 5 minutes on each side until the center is no longer raw. Do not overcook. Place the sauce on the bottom of a plate, arrange the swordfish on top, and garnish with basil leaves. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Place swordfish steaks in a medium bowl, and brush with lemon juice. Coat each side with lemon pepper and dill.
• Place swordfish on the prepared grill, and cook 6 minutes on each side, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Steps:

• 1 Trim the artichokes down to the central cone of pale green leaves. With a small paring knife, peel the base and stems of the artichokes. Slice off the stem ends. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the chokes. Cut the hearts into thin slices. 2 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Pat the swordfish dry and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the fish to a plate. 3 Add the onions and artichokes to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the anchovies, tomato paste, water, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat. Cook 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. 4 Push the vegetables to the outside edge of the pan and return the fish to the skillet. Baste the fish with the sauce. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish is heated through. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add the capers and sauté until the onions are just barely translucent, about 2 minutes. (Be careful when you add the capers; they may spit in the hot oil.) Push the vegetables to the side of the pan with a spatula.
• Sprinkle both sides of each swordfish steak with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Lay the swordfish in the middle of the frying pan, leaving the onions pushed to the side. Cook the swordfish for 2 minutes. While the swordfish cooks, stir the vegetable mixture to prevent it from burning. Reduce the temperature to medium and flip the swordfish. Spoon the vegetable mixture on top of the swordfish. Cook the swordfish for 1 1/2 more minutes, or to desired level of doneness. For medium rare, a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the swordfish will read 145˚F. For medium to well done, cook the fish to 155˚F. or higher. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the swordfish to a serving platter, leaving the onion mixture in the pan.
• Add the garlic, lemon juice, white wine, sugar, and a pinch each of salt and pepper to the onion mixture and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce the liquid to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the basil, and whisk in the butter until it melts.
• Spoon the sauce over the swordfish and serve.

Steps:

• To make the onions, stir the sesame seeds in a heavy small dry skillet over medium heat until brown. Place in a small dish and set aside. Heat the peanut and sesame oils with the ginger in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and stir-fry until almost tender, about 1 minute. Add the water and soy sauce and stir-fry until tender, but still crunchy, about 1 minute more.
• To make the swordfish, mix the sugar and pepper in a large soup plate. Dip one side of each steak in the mixture. Heat the oil in 1 very large or 2 smaller nonstick skillets over medium-high heat (you will need more oil if using 2 skillets). Add the swordfish, coated side down, and cook until the bottom is browned and caramelized, about 3 minutes. Pour the soy sauce in the skillet(s), cover and cook until the fish is glazed and just opaque throughout, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• If necessary, rewarm the onions by stirring over medium-high heat. Place 1 swordfish steak on each of 4 plates, top with the onions and sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 dgrees F.
• In an oven-safe non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the grapeseed oil and then sear the swordfish fillets on both sides.
• Transfer the frying pan and fillets to the oven for a few minutes ONLY to help the fillets cook through -- ideally, you will remove the fish when they are medium-rare.
• Trim the artichoke, cut in half and remove the choke.
• Cut each half into half again, put into a pan containing water, the lemon juice and salt; and cook until tender.
• To make the sauce, put the soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, black olive paste, garlic and chicken stock into a saucepan, stir, and gently heat.
• Just before serving, wilt the rocket in the sauce and then remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
• To serve, warm 4 plates; place the wakame in the center, with the swordfish on top of it; place an artichoke quarter by the side of the fillet; garnish with parsley, scallions, rocket and tomato.
• You may dress the fillet with sauce or pass the sauce separately.

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, teriyaki sauce, lemon juice and garlic in a large zipper bag. Add fish. Marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Prehet grill. While fish marinates, coat one side of 12-in square of tin foil. Place onions on half of tin foil. Combine 2 T maple syrup and butter, stirring well. Drizzle syrup mixture over onions. Fold foil over onion and crimp edges to seal.
• Place foil packet on grill. Cover and grill for 20 minutes or until onion is tender and golden. Set aside and keep warm.
• Remove fish from marinade, reserving marinade. Place marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Set aside.
• Place fish on grill rack and grill 4-6 minutes on each side or until fishflakes easily with a fork, basting often with reserved marinade.
• Place fish on platter, top evenly with onions.
