Swordfish
with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried
tomatoes, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon salt, divided use
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
- Preheat broiler.
- In a food processor or
blender, combine sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, half the olive
oil, garlic and half the salt. Process until smooth. Transfer
to a bowl and set aside.
- Season swordfish with
remaining salt and pepper. Brush with remaining olive oil and
place in a shallow, broiler-safe pan. Broil, 4 to 5 inches from
heat, until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes
per side. Fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve immediately
with a dollop of sun-dried tomato pesto.
Makes 4 servings.
