Swordfish with Artichokes and Onions image

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 thick swordfish, tuna, or shark steaks
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • 1 Trim the artichokes down to the central cone of pale green leaves. With a small paring knife, peel the base and stems of the artichokes. Slice off the stem ends. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the chokes. Cut the hearts into thin slices. 2 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Pat the swordfish dry and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the fish to a plate. 3 Add the onions and artichokes to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the anchovies, tomato paste, water, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat. Cook 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. 4 Push the vegetables to the outside edge of the pan and return the fish to the skillet. Baste the fish with the sauce. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish is heated through. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

SEARED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE (TETSUYA)



Seared Swordfish With Artichoke and Olive (Tetsuya) image

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).

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

200 -280 g swordfish fillets (4 fillets, each 50-70g)
1/2 teaspoon grapeseed oil
2 large artichokes
1 teaspoon lemon juice (to acidulate the water)
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
4 pieces wakame seaweed, each about 2 inches by 3 inches
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
80 ml olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons black olive paste
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons chicken stock
4 -6 leaves arugula (rocket)
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon spring onion, julienned (scallions)
2 tablespoons tomatoes, peeled and diced

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.
