I know a lot of people that love ordering seafood at restaurants but HATE cooking it at home. I am here to tell you to not be afraid of preparing fish in your own kitchen! It is SO much cheaper than if you order in a restaurant and is such a quick meal to make after work. Fish literally takes a couple minutes to prepare and is so healthy, I love incorporating it into my dinner at least twice a week. This week was Swordfish Provençal. This particular recipe uses swordfish, which is one of my favorites. I am a big fan of thicker and more oily fishes like swordfish and salmon, and this preparation would also be amazing with cod or tuna as well. If you have a seafood phobia then let it go and make this for a healthy weeknight meal that tastes like restaurant quality for a fraction of the price!
- 2 5 oz swordfish steaks
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tsp herbs de provence
- salt and pepper to taste
- Pre-heat medium saute pan on medium high heat and coat pan with olive oil.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the swordfish and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side and cook until totally opaque, 2-3 more minutes.
- Remove fish from pan and set aside while you prepare the sauce. Turn heat down to medium.
- Add a tbsp more olive oil if necessary and saute onions and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- pour in wine and simmer, reducing by about half. Whisk in tomato paste until evenly distributed and add herbs de provence.
- Add cherry tomatoes and break them up with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer sauce for 3-5 more minutes until thickened and tomatoes are deflated.
- Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Top swordfish with sauce and enjoy!
