    Lemon Artichoke Seared Swordfish

    A perfect meal. The recipe is not complicated, the textures perfect and the flavors exciting. Red Lion Inn Swordfish recipe is the bomb.

    Red Lion Inn Swordfish, seared fish on top of mediterranean vegetables.

    When I think of healthy, I think of lots of greens and seafood. My most recent search landed me on a swordfish recipe that was obtained from the Red Lion Inn, near Niagra Falls, straight from the chef. And voila, is prepared with a big hand full of fresh spinach.

    This swordfish dinner was near perfect; not complicated, wonderful in texture and exciting in flavor. The fish is lightly dusted with flour and then seared, and then placed on a bed of artichoke hearts, wilted spinach and roasted red bell pepper which have been seasoned with white wine, capers and lemon juice. Now that’s healthy!

    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • 4 Tablespoon butter
    • 1/4 cup white wine

    Instructions

    • Remove the skin from the swordfish. Butterfly the fish. Lightly flour both sides of the steaks.
    • Heat the oil to shimmering so the pan is really hot. Sear the fish on both sides. About 3 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the pan, reduce the heat and melt the butter. Swirl in the wine and lemon juice. Add the other ingredients and cook until the spinach has wilted and the butter sauce coats the back of a spoon. Serve the fish on top of the sauce.

        I like swordfish because of the texture. Very meaty.

        Us too!!! It’s harder for us being in the middle of the country and relying on quality seafood. You can find it, but ouch on the wallet.

        It’s dusted with flour, so that helps the browning part. Thanks John.
