Categories     Salad     Chill     Swordfish     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 pound swordfish, skinned and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled (halved if large)
1/2 pound sea scallops, cut in half through their equators (or quartered if very large)
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon capers with a little of their liquid, or to taste
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add salt. (If you have Fish Stock, page 161, use it; when you're done, strain it and save it for reuse.) Turn the heat to medium-low and add the swordfish; 30 seconds later, add the shrimp and scallops. Cover and turn off the heat; let the fish sit in the liquid for about 10 minutes. Drain and cool, then chill. (You can prepare the fish to this point up to 24 hours in advance; cover and refrigerate until you're ready to eat.)
  • Toss the fish with the parsley, capers, shallot, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
