Swordfish In Spanish Sofrito Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the fish and stir enough to get it coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes. Remove fish from the marinade and pat dry.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion until golden, about 8 minutes, then add the fish. Brown the chunks of fish, about 1 minute per side; remove from the pan and set aside.
• Stir the flour into the skillet; cook and stir until lightly browned. Gradually stir in the white wine. Return the fish to the pan, and add the fava beans. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, cover, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot.

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:

• Wash fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and add fish.
• Brown for 2 minutes. Turn and brown second side 2 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Lower heat to medium, add sofrito, cover and simmer 5 minutes for 1" thick fish. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes for 3/4" thick fish.

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper, onion, aji dulce, garlic, 1/2 cup of the cilantro and the recao in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season both sides of the snapper with salt and pepper. Add the snapper to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the snapper to a platter.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Pour the sofrito over the snapper and enjoy.

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fennel and cook until slightly soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar and season with kosher salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, garlic and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the onions are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the fish: Finely chop the pine nuts by hand. Mix the nuts, lemon zest, parsley, and sea salt and pepper to taste on a cutting board. Pat the swordfish dry and brush with olive oil on both sides. Press the fish into the nut mixture, turning to coat.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat. When the oil shimmers, lay the fish in the pan and cook, undisturbed, until golden on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until just golden on the other side, 3 to 4 more minutes. Using tongs, lay each swordfish steak on its side to sear the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Turn the fish so the lighter side is down and cook until just firm to the touch, 6 to 8 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• While the fish rests, finish the vegetables: Add the tomatoes, oregano, capers and brine to the onions and cook until the tomatoes soften, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Slice the fish and divide among plates. Spoon the vegetables and juices onto the plates. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place swordfish fillets on a plate and sprinkle with olive oil, if you like, or leave plain and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
• To make the sauce heat 2 or more tbsp olive in a frying pan, add chopped basil and parsley, shallots (or small onion), salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently as it cooks.
• When the shallots (or onion) is translucent, set aside.
• In a bowl mix the crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, oregano and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the halved, prepared tomatoes on a baking tray and cover with the oil and garlic mixture.
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and a bit bubbly.
• While sauce is baking, cook swordfish in 2 tablespoons olive oil on a hot griddle or in a non-stick frying pan until golden brown on both sides. You may add more olive oil, if necessary.
• To serve, place the fish on pre-heated plates with the baked tomato halves in herb sauce either alongside or on top of each fillet, and sprinkle remaining herb sauce and juices over all.
• Top each fillet with 3 black olive halves, 3 capers and a sprig of parsley.
• Note: Roasted potatoes, a green salad and a glass of wine go well with this dish. Salut!
