Occasionally one of our grocery stores will have 6 or 7 ounce frozen portions of swordfish and tuna on sale for $5.99. The three of us can divide up the fish and have a fine seafood dinner for $12.00. Last night only John and I were at the table so not only did we have a fine dinner but John got to eat my leftovers for lunch!
We use a recipe from serious eats where we make half the amount of fish but make the total recipe for the wonderful sauce. Who doesn’t like a lot of sauce?! The sauce is tomato-y with lots of bright saltiness from capers and olives. It is finished with parsley and roasted pine nuts. Yum! John does a great job sautéing the fish and I am in charge of the vegetables and sauce. Once you have everything prepped the cooking takes less than 15 minutes. It’s another one of those not expensive but company worthy dinners. Here’s a link to the recipe we used—https://www.seriouseats.com/agghiotta-di-pesce-spada-sicilian-braised-swordfish-with-tomatoes-and-olives-5212333
On the side we had couscous and zucchini. We just followed the package instructions for the couscous which only takes about 5 minutes. I sliced the zucchini into half moons a sautéd them in olive oil with onions, garlic, oregano, and salt.
