RED PEPPER SWORDFISH
Swordfish steaks cooked with sweet red peppers
This recipe was handed out to people buying swordfish at my local fish monger;
I tried it and it was delicious.
It is also very quick and simple to make.
Ingredients
(Serves 6)
- 6 swordfish steaks
(each about
250 g
and
2 cm
thick.)
- 1 large sweet red pepper
- 2 lemons
- 50 ml fresh oregano
- 250 ml olive oil
- 5 ml salt
- 2.5 ml fresh ground black pepper
- dry white wine
Procedure
-
Remove seeds and ribs from pepper and cut into
1 cm
cubes.
Put in a bowl and mix well with the juice of the two lemons,
the olive oil, salt, pepper, and the oregano.
-
Heat broiler and pour wine to a depth of
1/3 cm
in a broiler pan.
Lay swordfish steaks in wine and broil for 3 minutes.
-
Pour the seasoned lemon, oil and oregano mixture
over the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more
(until fish is cooked through and lightly browned.)
-
Immediately transfer fish to a warmed serving dish.
-
You may need to reduce the sauce slightly by boiling vigorously
and stirring for 2 minutes more.
-
Pour sauce over fish and serve.
Notes
I served fresh asparagus with this, but any light vegetable
would be fine. Boiled new potatoes would be nice, too.
