"LUNCHBAG" SWORDFISH WITH MEDITERRANEAN TOMATO SAUCE AND LINGUINI

Steps:

• Put tomatoes in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, capers, peppers, olives, lemon juice, pepper oil, and 4 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Stir gently just to mix and set aside at least 1 hour. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Mixture will become more liquid and sauce-like over time.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini until al dente. Drain and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve.
• To cook the fish: (See Chef's Note below if using waxed paper.) Place a small square of parchment or waxed paper at the bottom of each paper bag. Place small pile of linguini in each of the bags. Top with a spoonful of tomato sauce, making sure to moisten the linguini with the juices. Lay a piece of fish on top and arrange with another spoonful of sauce. Moisten again with juices from the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Fold over the tops of the bags, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the bags to 4 dinner plates and let each diner cut open the package to enjoy the aromas.

SPANISH SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES IN HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place swordfish fillets on a plate and sprinkle with olive oil, if you like, or leave plain and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
• To make the sauce heat 2 or more tbsp olive in a frying pan, add chopped basil and parsley, shallots (or small onion), salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently as it cooks.
• When the shallots (or onion) is translucent, set aside.
• In a bowl mix the crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, oregano and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the halved, prepared tomatoes on a baking tray and cover with the oil and garlic mixture.
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and a bit bubbly.
• While sauce is baking, cook swordfish in 2 tablespoons olive oil on a hot griddle or in a non-stick frying pan until golden brown on both sides. You may add more olive oil, if necessary.
• To serve, place the fish on pre-heated plates with the baked tomato halves in herb sauce either alongside or on top of each fillet, and sprinkle remaining herb sauce and juices over all.
• Top each fillet with 3 black olive halves, 3 capers and a sprig of parsley.
• Note: Roasted potatoes, a green salad and a glass of wine go well with this dish. Salut!
