Swordfish With Roasted Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean.) Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• For the Caesar sauce, place the garlic, parsley, anchovy paste, and mustard in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse to make a smooth sauce.
• Place the swordfish steaks on the pan and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Set aside one third of the sauce to serve with the cooked fish. Spread the fish on one side with half the remaining sauce, turn the fish, and spread the remaining sauce on the second side. Sprinkle with the scallions and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
• Roast the fish for 10 to 12 minutes, until the center is just barely cooked. Cover the fish with aluminum foil and allow to rest on the pan for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saute pan until very hot, add the capers, and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until they start to pop and are a little crisp. Serve the swordfish hot with the lemon wedges, frizzled capers, and the reserved Caesar sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and let warm for 1 minute. Add onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until soft and golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in sweet peppers and oregano; cook until very soft, about 10 minutes. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Scrape vegetables into a bowl.
• Melt butter in skillet. While butter melts, toss fish with remaining salt and pepper. Add half the chile peppers to skillet and cook until soft, 1 minute. Add garlic to skillet and stir quickly to coat with butter. Add fish and reduce heat to medium-low; cook gently until fish is just opaque, about 5 minutes. Return sweet peppers to pan and toss well. Sprinkle with remaining chile peppers and top with a squeeze of lemon and cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mash butter, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns, and lemon peel in small bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Add swordfish to skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn swordfish over and transfer to oven. Roast until just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer swordfish to plates. Add seasoned butter to same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until melted and bubbling. Pour butter sauce over swordfish and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Use to marinate swordfish, salmon, tuna, or red snapper overnight.
• Fresh herb vinaigrette: 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 8 large fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup extravirgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• Combine the vinegar and mustard in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly, then add the herbs. Pulse again until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, add the olive oil very slowly so that the mixture will emulsify into a smooth blend. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. This dressing will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
• 4 6 to 8 ounce swordfish steaks, at least 3/4 inch thick 2 large vidalia onions, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick slices 2 sweet red peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 2 sweet yellow peppers, seeded and sliced into rings 12 large shiitake mushroom caps 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper
• The night before, rub the swordfish steaks with the marinade. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, overnight. The next day, prepare an outdoor grill for cooking. Right before grilling, toss the onions, peppers and mushrooms with the olive oil, salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, grill the swordfish until it is well colored on both sides and the interior is medium (about 3 to 4 minutes per side, total).When you have added the fish to the grill, spread the vegetables along the perimeter of the grill and carefully cook the vegetables without burning. Remove the fish from the grill, plate, drizzle with vinaigrette over the fish, top with vegetables and serve.

Steps:

• To prepare the chimichurri, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process for 1 to 2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined. Can be used immediately, but for best results refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 2 hours before serving, to allow to come to room temperature.
• Preheat your grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Brush each sweet potato slice generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until tender when poked with a knife (you want some nice char marks on the potatoes.) You may need to grill in 2 batches. Place on a baking sheet, wrap with foil and place in a preheated to 200 degree F oven.
• Next, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. When hot add the bell peppers and season generously with salt and pepper. Saute until caramelized, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Turn the heat off, toss in the toasted pine nuts, basil and oregano and add a pinch more salt and pepper. Stir to combine and keep warm on the stovetop.
• For the swordfish, again heat your grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the swordfish generously with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Grill until just cooked through, but still moist, about 3 to 4 minutes per side (being careful not to overcook the fish.)
• To plate, first put 1/4 of the sweet potato slices onto each of 4 warmed plates. Top potatoes with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt. Next, top the sweet potatoes, with 1/4 of the bell pepper mixture. Then place the swordfish atop that, and spoon a generous amount of the chimichurri over the middle of the fish. To garnish, top the chimichurri with a tiny sprinkling of orange zest, then just a few very thinly sliced pieces of jalapeno, and a twisted orange slice. Serve with warmed sourdough baguette slices and the additional chimichurri on the side. Enjoy!!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F, with a rack 6 inches from heating element. Stir together herbs, 1/4 cup oil, and lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes in a shallow nonreactive baking dish and roast, stirring once halfway through and breaking up some with back of spoon, until burst and beginning to collapse, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; roast 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and cover; switch oven to broil.
• Meanwhile, season swordfish with salt and pepper and rub half of herb oil over both sides. Let stand 15 minutes. Arrange fish on a broiler-safe pan and broil, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to dish with tomatoes, slice, and serve, drizzled with remaining herb oil.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In the jar of a blender or in a food processor, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season the sauce to taste with more lime juice or salt if needed. Serve immediately or place in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• For the swordfish: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the swordfish dry and season with salt. Add the olive oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the swordfish and cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. To serve, mound the cabbage on serving plates and top with the swordfish. Drizzle with some of the cilantro and green chile sauce.

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: whirl first four vinaigrette ingredients in the container of a food processor or a blender until smooth.
• Add the oil in very slowly until fully incorporated.
• Season to taste with black pepper.
• For the fish: heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
• Cook about 4 minutes on each side or until completely done.
• To serve, transfer cooked fish to a warm plate and top with a little of the vinaigrette.
