Dave Couliers Swordfish With Tomato Sauce Recipes

PAN-SEARED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES, AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Put the oil in a deep skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown it well, rotating and turning it as necessary and sprinkling it with salt and pepper; the process should take less than 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the fish.
• Turn the heat to medium and add the garlic, capers, chiles, and olives. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute; add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Gently slide the fish into the sauce and cook, turning once, until it is tender, about 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, then garnish and serve.

SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except swordfish in a glass or ceramic dish (14 by 11 by 2 inches). Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 4 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven, uncover and stir well. Arrange pieces of fish in the dish so that the skin is toward the edge of the dish. Spoon some of the tomatoes over the fish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power for 10 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven and uncover. With a large spatula pile fish on a platter and allow to stand, loosely covered for about 3 minutes. Meanwhile transfer tomato mixture to a blender and process until smooth.
• Serve sauce over fish.

• 3. For each serving : Brush 1 portion of swordfish with 1/4 teaspoon of the oil and broil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
