SWORDFISH CALABRIAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the fish and stir enough to get it coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes. Remove fish from the marinade and pat dry.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion until golden, about 8 minutes, then add the fish. Brown the chunks of fish, about 1 minute per side; remove from the pan and set aside.
• Stir the flour into the skillet; cook and stir until lightly browned. Gradually stir in the white wine. Return the fish to the pan, and add the fava beans. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, cover, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot.

STEAMED SWORDFISH BAGNARA-STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a large shallow baking dish. Add lemon slices, capers, and garlic. Turn lemon slices to completely coat with oil; remove from dish and set aside. Season swordfish with salt and pepper and place in an even layer in baking dish; turn swordfish to coat with oil. Top with lemon slices and sprinkle with oregano and 1 tablespoon parsley.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fit a large roasting pan with a rack; add enough boiling water so that it fills the pan 1 inch high. Set baking dish on rack and tent with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil, pressing it against the sides of the roasting pan.
• Carefully transfer to oven and bake until swordfish is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove foil and remove baking dish from rack; immediately sprinkle fish with remaining tablespoon parsley. Serve immediately with pan juices.
