Gallipoli-Style Swordfish
Puglia's Swordfish Recipe
From the Salento coast area of Puglia comes this delicious dish; it hails from the town of Gallipoli.
4 swordfish fillets
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Parsley, minced
A bit of fennel greens, minced (or substitute grated lemon peel for a different flavor)
Oregano, minced (or a bit of dried oregano, crumbled)
Salt and pepper
Dry breadcrumbs
Extra virgin olive oil
- Combine the herbs with the breadcrumbs and mix well.
- Rub some olive oil on both sides of the swordfish, then dredge in the breadcrumbs to coat them well.
- Heat some olive oil in a skillet and cook the fish, about ten minutes per side.
This is nice served with a salad made from sliced fennel, arugula (rocket) and halved cherry tomatoes, dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of fresh-squeezed orange juice or lemon juice.
Buon appetito!
