Roasted Swordfish And Potatoes With Caper Mayonnaise Fish Recipes Italian Recipes

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. boiling potatoes (about 4)

1/2 c. olive oil

5 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper

4 swordfish steaks

1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary

1 c. mayonnaise

2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp. drained chopped capers

1 tsp. Wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1Heat the oven to 400°F. In a large roasting pan, toss the potatoes with 1/4 cup of the oil, half the garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Put in the oven for 15 minutes; stir once.Step 2Meanwhile, coat the swordfish with the remaining 1/4 cup oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and the rosemary. Put the fish on a baking sheet and put it in the oven along with the potatoes. Cook, stirring the potatoes once, until the fish and potatoes are both done, 10 to 12 minutes for 1-inch-thick steaks.Step 3In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the parsley, capers, and vinegar. Serve the roasted swordfish and potatoes with the caper mayonnaise.Step 4Variations: Try tuna, salmon or codfish steaks instead of the swordfish. Fillets will also be good in this recipe, but you’ll need to cut down on the cooking time. If you do, be sure the potatoes still cook for twenty-five minutes. Just put the fish in later.Step 5Wine Recommendation: Though not a typical Italian wine, pinot noir is superb with swordfish. There are some tasty pinot noirs from the Alto Adige and Friuli, which you’ll find under the Italian name pinot nero.
