Swordfish Milanese Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse the panko and potato chips together in a food processor. Crack the eggs into a casserole and whisk. Place the swordfish steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound thin with a mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle each steak with salt and pepper. Dip the fish into the egg wash, then crumbs, then egg wash, then crumbs again, coating each side.
• Put a third of the oil in a large saute pan and heat. Once hot, add 2 pieces crusted fish and brown the first side. Flip each piece, add 2 tablespoons butter and shake the pan vigorously so that the butter stays frothy the entire time, until fish is golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a wire rack over a cookie tray. Repeat with remaining fish, oil and butter. Serve with Dill Pickle Tartar Sauce and lemon halves, and dust the dish with Caper Powder.
• Mix together mayonnaise, pickles, chives, dill, pickle juice and some salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Spread capers in an even layer on a sheet pan. Bake until dry, about 3 hours. Let continue to dry out at room temperature, about 1 hour. Place dried capers in a spice grinder and pulse until powder forms.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:

• Place the panko in a pie dish.
• In another pie dish, beat the eggs to blend.
• Line a large cutting board with plastic wrap.
• Place 2 swordfish steaks on plastic wrap, about 2 inches apart.
• Place another sheet of plastic wrap over the steaks.
• Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy rolling pin, gently flatten the swordfish steaks to 1/4-inch thick.
• Remove top plastic wrap and sprinkle the swordfish with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Set aside the swordfish steaks and flatten and season remaining 2 steaks, using the plastic wrap to help again.
• Dip each steak into the egg, then the panko, coating completely and patting to adhere.
• Working in batches, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoon of light olive oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Place 2 coated swordfish steaks in pan and cook until brown and crisp and just cooked through in the middle, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a cooling rack set on a baking sheet and lightly tent with foil to keep warm (do not seal with foil or the breading will become soggy).
• Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil, and 2 swordfish steaks.
• Whisk the lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil in a large bowl to blend.
• Add the arugula and watercress, and toss lightly to coat.
• Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the swordfish steaks to plates.
• Top with the salad and serve.
