Broiled Swordfish With Fennel Caper Slaw Recipes

BROILED SWORDFISH WITH FENNEL-CAPER SLAW

Steps:

• For slaw: In a large bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, the lemon juice, capers, Dijon, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add fennel, reserved fronds, and mint; toss to coat and let marinate at room temperature as you prepare swordfish.
• Meanwhile, place a rack in top third of oven and preheat broiler. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over swordfish and rub to coat sides. Season all over with salt and pepper. Place swordfish in prepared pan. Broil 5 minutes, flip fish, and continue to broil until fish is opaque and cooked through (140°F), 3 to 5 minutes more. Toss slaw and pile on swordfish. Serves 4.

SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS

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.

BROILED SWORDFISH STEAKS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the swordfish steaks with salt , pepper, and paprika and gently rub into the fish.
• Preheat a greased broiler rack.
• Place the swordfish steaks on the greased broiler rack and brush with the melted butter. Put them under the broiler, about 2 to 3 inches from the heat source. Broil the steaks for about 4 minutes.
• Turn the swordfish steaks, brush with more melted butter, and broil for 4 to 5 minutes longer.
• The fish should be lightly browned and will flake easily with a fork when done.
• Transfer the swordfish to a platter or individual plates and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges and drizzle servings with a tablespoon or two of garlic parsley sauce (below), if desired.
• Serve with rice or potatoes.
• In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of chopped parsley with the grated lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
