Outstanding

This fish is tasty and impressive enough to serve company. You can substitute tuna for swordfish. Serve with orzo tossed with chopped fresh basil and toasted pine nuts.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fish steak and 2 tablespoons olive mixture)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 4  (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1  tablespoon  sliced almonds
  • 2  teaspoons  bottled minced garlic
  • 2  tablespoons  raisins
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh orange juice
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers

Preparation

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and black pepper. Add fish to pan; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Remove fish from pan; cover and keep warm.

Recoat pan with cooking spray; add nuts and garlic to pan. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons raisins, orange juice, kalamata olives, and bell pepper to pan; cook 1 minute or until liquid evaporates. Serve with fish.

This recipe is very good with swordfish or tilapia. Great flavor! My husband even liked it and he is very fussy!04/23/07

Absolutely wonderful. I have never cooked swordfish before. We were fighting over the last morsels of topping. Following serving suggestion of orzo with pine nuts and basil I located the recipe "Creamy Pamesan Orzo" CL March 2004 - the perfect side dish. This really IS super fast. With some prep-work you can have a gourmet meal for guests in less than 30 minutes and minimal mess in the kitchen. Only problem is that everyone will be begging for more.10/20/06
