Sweet red pepper flavors
a simple creamy sauce for broiled swordfish steaks. Great with
steamed green beans. Try roasting the red pepper for a smokier
flavor. Recipe can be grilled.
Broiled Swordfish
with Sweet Red Pepper Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup dry white wine
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
1 clove large garlic, halved
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Preheat broiler.
- Melt butter over medium
heat in a small skillet. When foam subsides, sauté chopped
garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant; season with half the amount
of salt. Add wine and red bell pepper. Bring to a simmer over
medium-high heat and cook until liquid is almost totally evaporated,
about 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add powdered milk and
paprika and process until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and
hold warm over low heat.
- Rub swordfish all over
with halved garlic. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Place
on broiler pan and cook, 4 inches from broiler for 4 minutes.
Turn and broil another 3 minutes, or until fish flakes easily
with a fork.
- Pour sauce over fish and
serve warm.
Makes 4 servings.
