Wicked Good - Another favorite swordfish recipe from Archer and Amy (by Victoria Allman, yacht chef and award winning author)

Calabrian Swordfish

with Garlic, Lemon and Capers

4 swordfish steaks

2 lemons, juiced

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

36 grinds of black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup dry white wine

4 cups chicken stock

1 head of garlic, peeled and sliced thin

2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped

3 tablespoons capers

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 lemon, quartered

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon fleur de sel (flaky sea salt)

In a large bowl, marinate swordfish in lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and oregano for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, bring white wine, chicken stock and 1 head of garlic to a boil in a wide-lipped skillet that will fit all 4 swordfish steaks in a single layer (this may need to be done in 2 different pots to have enough room).

Reduce the heat to medium to simmer and add swordfish and marinade to the skillet. Simmer for 6 minutes and gently flip the fish to simmer for an additional 6 minutes on the other side.

Remove the swordfish from the skillet and place on individual plates. Spoon half a cup of the cooking liquid over the fish dividing garlic equally. Garnish each fish with Italian parsley, capers, and red pepper flakes. Squeeze a quarter of the lemon over each fish. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Serves 4

Trish and Jo's Vegetarian Version: Easy to substitute tofu for the fish. Marinate it the same as the swordfish and then sear it for 30 seconds in a hot pan on each side before poaching it in the liquid. Substitute vegetable stock for chicken stock.
