Best Swordfish With Herb Sauce Recipes

BAKED SWORDFISH IN A WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place swordfish in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place bell pepper slices around the fish. Pour wine over top and sprinkle with shallots. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove fish from the refrigerator.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the wine marinade, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.

SWORDFISH WITH SICILIAN OREGANO-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, capers, oregano, and peperoncino in a small bowl. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 2 hours. Just before serving, add thyme and mint; stir to combine. Gradually add oil, stirring to combine; season with salt.
• Heat grill to medium. Lightly brush grates with oil. Season fish with salt and pepper and grill until marked, then turn and cook 2 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. (Or cook in a grill basket brushed with oil.) Transfer to plates, top with oregano-caper sauce, and serve with lemon wedges.

HERB-MARINATED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the swordfish and season with salt. Add to skillet and cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden underneath and medium throughout (flesh should be opaque, firm and flaky), about 5 minutes longer. Transfer fish to a shallow baking dish.
• To the skillet, add the remaining oil and the capers, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until capers are sizzling vigorously but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in caper brine, lemon juice, pepper, parsley and chives. Pour the caper-herb oil over the fish. Let marinate at room temperature, turning once or twice and occasionally spooning the caper oil over the fish, for 15 minutes.
• Divide fish among plates and drizzle with some of the caper oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

SPANISH SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES IN HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place swordfish fillets on a plate and sprinkle with olive oil, if you like, or leave plain and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
• To make the sauce heat 2 or more tbsp olive in a frying pan, add chopped basil and parsley, shallots (or small onion), salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently as it cooks.
• When the shallots (or onion) is translucent, set aside.
• In a bowl mix the crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, oregano and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the halved, prepared tomatoes on a baking tray and cover with the oil and garlic mixture.
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and a bit bubbly.
• While sauce is baking, cook swordfish in 2 tablespoons olive oil on a hot griddle or in a non-stick frying pan until golden brown on both sides. You may add more olive oil, if necessary.
• To serve, place the fish on pre-heated plates with the baked tomato halves in herb sauce either alongside or on top of each fillet, and sprinkle remaining herb sauce and juices over all.
• Top each fillet with 3 black olive halves, 3 capers and a sprig of parsley.
• Note: Roasted potatoes, a green salad and a glass of wine go well with this dish. Salut!

HERB-MARINATED GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, garlic, dill, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours; the longer you marinate the fish, the stronger the flavor will be.
• When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove swordfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook swordfish on the preheated grill until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Swordfish cooks very quickly and your grill will flare up with this marinade!

SWORDFISH WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, basil, thyme, tarragon and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Herb sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Butter 8-inch square baking dish. Spread each side of swordfish steaks with 1 tablespoon herb sauce. Place in prepared dish and chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour wine over swordfish. Bake until fish is just cooked through, about 17 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve, passing remaining herb sauce separately.
