Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Green olives (pitted and sliced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup White wine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest and juice the lemon, setting both aside separately.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely dice the red onion.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and the lemon zest to create a marinade.
Generously brush the marinade onto both sides of the swordfish steaks, ensuring even coverage. Allow the fish to marinate for 10 minutes while prepping the other ingredients.
In a baking dish, arrange the swordfish steaks without overlapping. Scatter the diced red onion, sliced olives, and cherry tomatoes around the fish.
Pour the lemon juice and white wine over the vegetables and fish to enhance the flavor during baking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the swordfish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Baked Swordfish Manzanillo immediately, pairing it with crusty bread or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
