Welcome to my cookbook, which is a collection of recipes scribbled on 3x5 cards, torn out of magazines, or (since the early 1990s) printed out on computer paper. It's time to get these unruly recipes whipped into shape. I have given credit wherever I can, but I don't know the origin of all of these recipes. If you recognize one of your recipes, please let me know so that I can give you a credit, the proper copyright notice, and/or add a link to your site.

swordfish steaks creole

Serves 2.

Note: Gonna be the first to admit that I'm not a big swordfish chef -- I prefer to avoid the environmental and mercury/health risks of eating big fish. But once in a blue, blue moon, a swordfish comes on sale, and whatcha gonna do?

Ingredients:

  • a few reconstituted dried mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 TB chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 TB lemon juice
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • sprinkle of salt and a bit of fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/8 ts dried dillweed
  • 2 swordfish steaks, about 3/4 pound -- ours were actually 0.8 pound
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes

To Do:

  • Preheat oven 400 degrees F.
  • Mix mushrooms, onion, bell, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, dillweed.
  • Line shallow baking pan with foil. Spread half of veggie mix on foil, put steaks on top, salt, pepper, put a bay leaf on each steak. Cover each steak with the canned tomato. Spread the rest of the veggie mix over all.
  • Put a foil cover over the fish and bake for 45 minutes.

Note the second: I got the original recipe from about.com/southern food but I doubt they want the blame for this one, since I have substantially modified it. My version is nice and moist and has a subtle creole flavor. Me like. Go for it.
