Greek-Style Swordfish

Well, I’ve had a few requests to bring out some healthier recipes, which is pretty tough for me. I grew up on meat and potatoes, and, as much as I have learned to try new and exciting things, meat and potatoes are still my roots. Until I got married, would hardly even try any seafood. It was just too “exotic” to me. I hated pasta, outside of traditional mac ’n cheese and Ramen noodles. I would never have even tried sushi. My wife has been a blessing to my life and my palate. Since I have been asked for some of my more healthier dishes, I will start with this one. I use very versatile toppings on many of my dishes, and this one is no exception. I hope you enjoy it. . .

Greek-Style Swordfish

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter (can substitute unsalted butter or olive oil)
  • 5 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 3 Roma Tomatoes, cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried Basil
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice or Lemon Juice
  • 2 (6-ounce) Swordfish Steaks

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  2. Place butter and garlic in a medium pot over medium-low heat.
  3. Arrange the swordfish in a baking pan, and drizzle with the butter and garlic mixture from the small pot.
  4. Bake the fish for 7 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn fish, adding more butter and garlic and continue baking 7 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.
  5. With remaining butter and garlic (about ¼ cup), stir in the tomatoes, basil, and lime juice. Just before the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low.
  6. Spoon the tomato mixture over the fish to serve.

Note: To complete the healthy meal, serve swordfish on a bed of brown rice and with a side dish of a steamed vegetable of your choice.
