Swordfish Milanese
Posted by: | CommentsRecipe: Swordfish Milanese
Summary: Swordfish Milanese- this is one of my favorite dishes with any steak like fish. (Shark , Mahi mahi , cobia, halibut etc. This dish is very easy and always a big hit with people who are afraid of fish, or what they call fishy. What they really mean is a full flavor fish . Mackerel , Tuna, Albacore, Bluefish, Sardines, etc. are what I consider fuller flavor fish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs of fresh swordfish, or have the fish monger cut you 2 pieces to your preference.
- 1 lemon
- ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- extra virgin olive oil
- good coarse sea salt.

Summary: Fresh salmon tartar is a simple dish that truly spotlights the rich flavorful integrity of salmon. With accents of capers the light crunch and aromatics of fennel the spicy heat of the chili against the cold salmon with the lemon and the fresh zest of a lime will make this dish pop. My favorites are Tuna Tartar, Salmon Tartar, Bluefish Tartar, Mahi Mahi Tartar, Fluke Tartar & Halibut Tartar– always use fresh great quality fish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs of fresh wild salmon.
- ½ cup of capers.
- ½ cup small diced fennel.
