Best 5 Seared Swordfish With Artichoke And Olive Recipes
Swordfish, a firm and flavorful fish, takes center stage in this delectable dish. Seared to perfection, the swordfish retains its moist interior while developing a crispy outer layer. Artichoke hearts, known for their slightly nutty and earthy flavor, add a delightful textural contrast. Kalamata olives, with their briny and slightly bitter taste, bring a burst of Mediterranean flavor to the party. The combination of these ingredients, along with a zesty lemon-herb sauce, creates a dish that is both elegant and approachable. Alongside the seared swordfish with artichoke and olive recipe, this article also features a tantalizing collection of other seafood dishes. From pan-seared scallops with lemon butter sauce to grilled salmon with roasted vegetables, each recipe offers a unique culinary experience. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting your culinary journey, you'll find something to satisfy your taste buds in this comprehensive guide to seafood delights.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKES, TOMATOES, AND OLIVES
Along with tuna, swordfish is probably the preeminent grilling fish, because the tight texture of its flesh approximates that of meat. Swordfish freezes better than any fish I know. I hesitate to say this, but there is some pretty high quality frozen swordfish referred to as "clipper sword," because it is caught and quick-frozen within hours. Freezing technology has advanced a great deal over the years, and I think a lot more of our seafood than we know is frozen and then thawed before we eat it. But back to cooking. Here we accent the steak like quality of swordfish with a collection of Mediterranean ingredients mixed together in a free-form chunky relish/salad type of preparation. The poached, then grilled artichokes are excellent all by themselves, but they are even better mixed with the other ingredients, and I think they complement the swordfish very well. You can substitute steaks of tuna, mahi mahi, or salmon in this recipe.

Steps:
- Cut off the top third of each artichoke, snip off the sharp tips from the remaining leaves, and trim the bottom slightly so that it is even.
- In a small stockpot, bring 3 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the artichokes and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the outer leaves pull away easily with a sharp tug. Drain the artichokes, immediately plunge them into ice and water to stop the cooking process, and then drain again.
- Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise, brush them lightly with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the artichokes on the grill over a medium-hot fire, cut side down, and cook them for about 10 minutes, or until the cut sides are well browned. Remove the artichokes and cut each half in half.
- In a medium bowl, combine the artichokes, tomato, olives, parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice and mix well. Set aside.
- Check to be sure the fire is still at the medium-hot level. If it is not, add a bit of fuel and wait until it is caught. Rub the swordfish steaks with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and place on the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning only once. To check for doneness: Cut into one of the steaks; it should be just opaque throughout. Remove from the grill and serve, topped with the artichoke mixture.

SEARED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE
Tetsuya Wakuda's restaurant, Tetsuya's, is a highly regarded restaurant in Sydney, Australia with a definite Japanese flair but making extensive use of Australia's ingredients in innovative ways (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsuya's). Tetsuya's is considered Australia's best restaurant and has routinely been ranked in the top 20 in the world (http://www.theworlds50best.com/module/acms_winners?group_id=1&item_id=55). Australia has an abundance of fresh fish and seafood, so a saltwater fish, prepared with a minimum of fuss, is a very traditional Australian preparation. Substitutions and variations: You can substitute marlin, tuna or bonito for the swordfish. You can substitute a relatively neutral oil with a high smoke point for the grapeseed oil -- I have used canola oil successfully. I use low sodium chicken stock. You can augment (or substitute for) the tomato with tomato paste. Wakame is available in dried form in most oriental grocery stores or via the Internet. To prepare dried wakame, wipe very lightly with a damp paper towel, then soak in room temperature water for no more than 60 seconds. "Rocket" is the UK (and Australian) term for arugula. This recipe is adapted from "Tetsuya" by Tesuya Wakuda. Uploaded for Zaar World Tour 5 (2009).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 dgrees F.
- In an oven-safe non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the grapeseed oil and then sear the swordfish fillets on both sides.
- Transfer the frying pan and fillets to the oven for a few minutes ONLY to help the fillets cook through -- ideally, you will remove the fish when they are medium-rare.
- Trim the artichoke, cut in half and remove the choke.
- Cut each half into half again, put into a pan containing water, the lemon juice and salt; and cook until tender.
- To make the sauce, put the soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, black olive paste, garlic and chicken stock into a saucepan, stir, and gently heat.
- Just before serving, wilt the rocket in the sauce and then remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
- To serve, warm 4 plates; place the wakame in the center, with the swordfish on top of it; place an artichoke quarter by the side of the fillet; garnish with parsley, scallions, rocket and tomato.
- You may dress the fillet with sauce or pass the sauce separately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest swordfish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, slightly briny smell.
- Sear the swordfish over high heat to create a crispy crust. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with a little olive oil.
- Cook the swordfish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque in the center.
- Serve the swordfish immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Seared swordfish with artichoke and olive is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The swordfish is cooked to perfection and the artichoke and olive add a flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
