Swordfish Steaks with Mint and Garlic

Swordfish is very popular for its texture and mild flavor. But aside from that, swordfish is a favorite meal for health-conscious consumers because it is low in calorie and rich in omega-3 fatty acids which is really good for the heart. Imagine its mild flavor having a minty twist and a bit of garlic? Hmm, that would be really awesome.

INGREDIENTS:

  4 pounds swordfish steaks, about ½ inch thick

  Salt and freshly ground pepper

  1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  ½ cup white wine vinegar

  ½ cup packed mint leaves

 

PROCEDURE:

1. Season the swordfish with salt and pepper.

2. In each of 2 very large skillets, heat ½ cup of the olive oil until shimmering.

3. Add the swordfish in a single layer along with the garlic and vinegar.

4. Cover and cook over moderate heat until the fish is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes.

5. Add mint leaves and cook until wilted.

6. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the swordfish to a large platter.

7. Pour half of the pan juices on top and serve immediately. Pass the remaining pan juices separately.

Serving size: 10

*NOTE: Extra pan juices can be used as dipping for breads.
