Swordfish in a Garlicky Broth, Bagnara Style
- 2 skinless fresh swordfish steaks, about 3/8 inch (9 millimeters) thick and 5 to 6 ounces (160 grams) each
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
- 1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers, preferably salt-packed, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Season the swordfish on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Using the 1 tablespoon olive oil, coat a baking dish just large enough to hold the swordfish.
- Put the swordfish in the baking dish and scatter the garlic around it.
- Sprinkle the surface of the fish with capers and parsley.
- Spoon the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water over the fish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Choose a large roasting pan or other deep pan that can take stovetop heat and accommodate the baking dish.
- Set the pan on a burner and put the baking dish in it.
- In a separate pan or teakettle, bring several cups of water to a boil for pouring into the roasting pan.
- Turn the heat to high under the roasting pan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- After the water returns to a boil, cook the fish for 8 minutes.
- Uncover and check for doneness; the fish should be cooked through but still moist and surrounded with flavorful juices.
- Taste the juices and add more salt if necessary.
- Serve the swordfish in shallow bowls, spooning the garlicky broth over the fish.
- Drizzle each portion with additional extra virgin olive oil.
