Best Swordfish With Blood Orange Stuffing Recipes

BAKED SWORDFISH WITH TAPENADE AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place swordfish steaks in large shallow baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Spread tapenade on top of steaks. Pour orange juice and wine over and around the fish and cover with foil. Bake until fish is just cooked through, and still opaque, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the baking pan from oven and transfer fish to platter. Pour remaining liquid into a small saucepan and reduce slightly. Whisk in butter and spoon sauce over fish. Garnish with orange slices and minced parsley.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the tomatoes in half, crosswise. With your index finger poke out the seeds from the cavities. Sprinkle the halves lightly with salt and put the tomato upside down on a rack to drain for 20 minutes or more. Blend all of the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Correct the seasoning. Sprinkle the insides of each tomato half with black pepper, then fill with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of the stuffing. Sprinkle with a few drops of olive oil. Arrange the tomatoes in the oiled baking dish. They can be prepared up to this point several hours ahead. Place the baking dish in the upper third of the preheated oven and bake the tomatoes until tender but still holding their shape, 10 to 15 minutes. The bread crumb filling should be lightly browned.

SWORDFISH WITH BLOOD-ORANGE STUFFING

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onions, and sauté until tender. Scrape the onions into a large bowl, and add the bread crumbs, pine nuts, raisins and cheese. Finely grate the zest from the oranges and add to the bread crumbs. Squeeze in the juice of 1 orange (reserve remaining oranges for other use). Mix until it just starts to bind together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Form a portion of the stuffing into a log about the width and length of a thumb, and then roll into a piece of swordfish. Repeat to make 12 rolls.
• To serve, heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Season the swordfish rolls with a touch of salt and pepper, then add to the pan in batches, turning once or twice so all sides of the rolls are lightly browned. If desired, serve with mâche salad dressed with a vinaigrette of shallots, zinfandel vinegar and blood-orange-infused olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; have ready a second rimmed baking sheet.
• Trim the tops from the fennel bulbs and coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the fronds; discard the stalks. Remove the outer layers of the fennel and halve each bulb through the root end. Thinly slice each bulb. Thinly slice one of the limes and quarter the other.
• Pat each fish dry and coat each lightly with a teaspoon oil. Generously season fish inside and outside with salt and pepper. Transfer fish to the foil-lined baking sheet. Stuff each cavity with slices of lime and orange, fennel fronds and garlic.
• Toss sliced fennel with 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on the remaining baking sheet. Transfer fish and fennel to the oven; roast fennel, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Bake fish until it is just opaque, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve fish drizzled with more olive oil and squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Serve with fennel on top or alongside.
