Swordfish Piccata Recipes

Steps:

• Season the swordfish gently but evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the fish in the flour, patting off any excess.
• In a cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat grapeseed oil until just smoking over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted and bubbling, about 30 seconds.
• Place the swordfish in the pan and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Transfer the swordfish to a warm plate, and remove any excess fat from the sauté pan.
• While the pan is still hot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, sweat the shallots and cook until soft and cooked through, being careful not to brown. About 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and reduce by half.
• Add the capers and lemon juice, and cook for 1 minute.
• Take the pan off the heat, and add in the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, swirling the pan continuously to emulsify the butter.
• Add in the minced parsley, and season to taste.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish, and garnish with a lemon cheek and a parsley stem.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, blot the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. Saute the fish in the oil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fish to a platter. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, whisking for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and capers and stir. Add the butter and stir or whisk to incorporate to bring the sauce together. Pour onto the fish and garnish with the chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or stovetop grill until very hot.

Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
