Categories     Sauté     Quick & Easy     White Wine     Shallot     Swordfish     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

two 1-inch-thick swordfish steaks, each about 6 ounces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 shallots, sliced thin
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves (wash and dry before chopping)

Steps:

  • Pat swordfish dry and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet heat butter and oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté shallots with salt to taste, stirring, 1 minute. Push shallots to side of skillet. Add swordfish and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and add wine, vinegar, capers, and water. Simmer mixture 3 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through.
  • Transfer fish to 2 plates and stir parsley into sauce. Spoon sauce over fish.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the swordfish is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. The fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk together the balsamic vinegar, brown butter, and honey in a saucepan and heat over low heat until the honey has dissolved. Let the sauce cool completely and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Swordfish with Balsamic Brown Butter Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
