SEARED SWORDFISH WITH STEWED SICILIAN-STYLE BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• In large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add the thicker broccoli rabe stems and wine, cover and cook until half-tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add rest of the broccoli rabe and cook, covered, for 6 more minutes, until very tender.
• Uncover pan, add olives, and cook for a few more minutes to evaporate remaining liquid.
• Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and set aside to keep warm, or heat gently just before serving.
• Heat large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Season swordfish steaks with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil per side (4 tablespoons total). Place the fish in the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• Serve immediately, with the broccoli rabe.

SEARED SWORDFISH WITH ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE (TETSUYA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 dgrees F.
• In an oven-safe non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the grapeseed oil and then sear the swordfish fillets on both sides.
• Transfer the frying pan and fillets to the oven for a few minutes ONLY to help the fillets cook through -- ideally, you will remove the fish when they are medium-rare.
• Trim the artichoke, cut in half and remove the choke.
• Cut each half into half again, put into a pan containing water, the lemon juice and salt; and cook until tender.
• To make the sauce, put the soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, black olive paste, garlic and chicken stock into a saucepan, stir, and gently heat.
• Just before serving, wilt the rocket in the sauce and then remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
• To serve, warm 4 plates; place the wakame in the center, with the swordfish on top of it; place an artichoke quarter by the side of the fillet; garnish with parsley, scallions, rocket and tomato.
• You may dress the fillet with sauce or pass the sauce separately.

SWORDFISH POACHED IN OLIVE OIL WITH BROCCOLI RABE PESTO

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water and let cool, about 3 minutes. Shake off the excess water and transfer to a food processor. Add the garlic, walnuts, honey, salt, and pepper and process until very smooth. With the machine running, gradually pour in the extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan. Cover and set aside.
• Combine the olive oil and vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large, deep saucepan big enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Using a deep-fry thermometer, heat the oil to 200°F over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low to sustain the 200°F temperature. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Gently place the fish in the oil, making sure it is submerged. Poach the fish until just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Place about 1/2 cup of broccoli rabe pesto on each serving plate and gently smooth it out to make a bed for the fish. Using a slotted fish spatula, gently transfer the cooked fish from the poaching oil to the serving plate, placing the fish on top of the bed of pesto. Serve immediately.
