Swordfish Provençal
This is a great swordfish recipe that always reminds me of the South of France.
Sides: Boiled potatoes and green beans.
Wine: Chilled rosé, or light red.
Tips: This dish also makes a great appetizer served cold.
Serves 4
Ingredients Directions
1.5 Lb. swordfish steak (at least 1" thick)
5 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Cut off the fish skin and discard. Cut swordfish into cubes 1.5" on each side.
In a pyrex dish mix together oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and add swordfish. Turn to coat in marinade. Let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion diced
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp chopped herbs
(rosemary, thyme, savory, sage)
1/2 cup dry white wine
Preheat oven to broil.
After fish was marinating for 1-2 hours, sauté onions in oil with a pinch of salt and sugar on med-low until golden brown (5-7 min).
Strain tomatoes, and add to onions. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Stir. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Add wine, bring to a boil, turn down the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Broiler pan
Large wooden skewers
While the sauce is simmering, put fish cubes onto skewers, and broil for 4 minutes. Turn and broil for 4 more minutes. Remove swordfish from skewers and add to the sauce.

1/4 cup chopped parsley
Stir in parsley and serve.
