Categories     Roast     Low/No Sugar     Healthy     Swordfish     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon (packed) grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 1-inch-thick swordfish fillets (about 6 ounces each)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest swordfish you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the swordfish liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the swordfish over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Do not overcook the swordfish. Overcooked swordfish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the swordfish immediately with lemon parsley butter sauce. The sauce will add a bright, citrusy flavor to the fish.
  • Garnish the swordfish with fresh parsley before serving. This will add a pop of color and freshness.

Conclusion:

Swordfish with lemon parsley butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The swordfish is cooked to perfection and the lemon parsley butter sauce is the perfect complement to the fish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
