NEAPOLITAN PASTA WITH SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Place a large sauté pan (4 quarts or more) on high heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it's mighty hot (a piece of fish should sizzle) add the swordfish, spreading the pieces around in the pan in a single layer. Sear about 30 seconds until just starting to brown. Use a spatula to turn the fish, and cook another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add another tablespoon of the oil and the capers and cook a couple of minutes until the capers start to crisp and brown. Turn the heat to low, stir in the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until it barely starts to color. Add the tomatoes and olives. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors, then turn off the heat. While the tomatoes are simmering bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Remove 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the sauté pan.
• Reheat the pasta in the sauce on medium-low heat, folding everything together with a big spoon. Add a half cup or more of the pasta water to give the tomatoes a nice saucelike consistency, stirring until the pasta is well coated. Gently fold in the swordfish and the lemon zest, and stir until you have everything well mixed and heated through. Add more pepper if you wish; the mixture is not likely to demand salt. Transfer to a warm serving dish, scatter parsley on top and serve.

Add tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer over low heat until flavors are well combined and salmon is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve sauce over cooked pasta.

SEAFOOD PASTA WITH TOMATO AND CRUSHED OLIVES

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Once it reaches al dente, drain and set aside while you finish the sauce.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly browned and toasted around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, if using.
• Add tomatoes and then fill the empty can about 3/4 of the way up with water. Swirl the can to loosen the tomatoey bits left behind and add that to the pot. Season with salt, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly (it should still look quite brothy), 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the mussels or clams to the sauce, if using, along with the fish, and season again with salt. Let the seafood settle into the brothy tomato sauce and gently swirl the pot, encouraging the seafood to cook evenly. Cook a minute or two, then add the shrimp, swirling the skillet again. Cook until all the seafood is just cooked through and the mussels or clams have opened, another 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the pasta and very gently toss to coat, cooking another 1 to 2 minutes, just to let the flavors meld. Add olives and remove from heat.
• Divide among bowls, top with parsley and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

TOMATO MONKFISH

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, chile pepper, garlic, and ginger; fry until golden brown and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
• Remove tomatoes from the oven and add to the frying pan, including oil from the baking tray. Add vinegar, oregano, parsley, cilantro, bouillon cube, salt, and pepper. Continue to fry until tomatoes reduce into more of a paste, about 5 minutes more.
• Add monkfish and cover with excess paste, making sure fillets are completely surrounded. Reduce heat and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
