Baked Swordfish Sicilian Style

Serves: 4
Fresh fish and shellfish on ice at the seafood counter

Swordfish steaks baked with typical Sicilian condimenti — capers, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs — an easy dish to recreate at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs. Sicilian capers in salt (if available), rinsed well and dried
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • small handful fresh Italian parsley
  • ½ cup Sicilian extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 3 swordfish steaks
  • pinch of salt & fresh ground black pepper

Directions

In a blender, combine the Sicilian capers, garlic, Italian parsley and olive oil. Blend into a paste, then toss with the fresh breadcrumbs.

Lightly brush the swordfish steaks with olive oil and pat a layer of the caper-garlic-parsley-breadcrumb mixture on top.

Bake in a 450° oven for 10-15 minutes, testing for doneness.

Serve with lemon wheels all around.
