Categories     Fish

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ( 3/4 - to 1-pound) swordfish steaks
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 pound whole cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons slivered basil leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel on both sides. Season each side with a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside. 2. Heat the olive oil, garlic and fennel seeds in a skillet over medium heat until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant, about 3 minutes. 3. Lay the swordfish steaks on top of the garlic and fennel seeds and cook until they turn white on the cooked side, 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over, laying them on top of any excess garlic and fennel seeds and cook another 5 minutes. 4. Add the white wine and tomatoes, cover the pan tightly and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the meat is easily penetrated with a skewer or paring knife (the swordfish must be well-done or it will be fibrous). Timing will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks -- thin steaks may take less than 5 minutes while very thick steaks may take as long as 15 minutes. 5. Remove the lid and transfer the swordfish to a heated platter. Increase the heat under the skillet to high and cook until the liquid in the pan reduces to a syrupy sauce, about 5 minutes. Pour any liquid that has collected in the platter into the sauce and stir in the basil. 6. Pour the sauce over the swordfish steaks and serve immediately.

I accidentally overcooked the swordfish, but the sauce was still delicious. I served it over pasta and it was a quick and easy meal.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper to the sauce and it was much better.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some chopped olives and capers to the sauce, and I served it over grilled vegetables instead of rice.
