Swordfish With Tomato Basil And Lemon 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:

• Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Whisk the oil, mint, lemon juice, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Season the lemon and olive oil mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Brush the swordfish steaks with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture. Grill the steaks until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steaks). Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the swordfish steaks.
• In a saute pan just large enough to hold the steaks, heat the oil, and quickly brown the swordfish on both sides, but not cooking completely.
• Remove them from the saute pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, add the tomatoes and the basil.
• Cook for a few minutes, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
• Return the fish to the pan, covering them with the sauce.
• Cover the pan, and cook at a low simmer for 4-5 minutes until they are done.
• 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:

• Smash the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, and mash and smear it to a paste using the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic paste to a medium bowl along with the anchovy, vinegar, pepper flakes and some salt. Whisk to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and chopped basil and gently stir to combine. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Heat a grill to high. Rub both sides of each swordfish steak with two of the basil leaves, leaving some of the now-bruised basil on top of each steak. Brush the steaks with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, basil-side down, until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout, another 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately spoon the relish over the fish.
