Baked Swordfish Steaks

These swordfish steaks bake to perfection with a colorful combination of tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, onions, and bell peppers. It's a Creole-style dish with a dash of Louisiana spice for flavor. 
While swordfish is a delicious and nutritious seafood choice, it does have a higher level of mercury than most species and should not be eaten as frequently. Because mercury can harm the nervous system of unborn and small children, the U.S. FDA and EPA advise that women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children avoid eating swordfish and other fish high in mercury. 
This recipe makes enough for four people, but can easily be scaled down to make an elegant dinner for two. Serve the swordfish steaks and vegetables on a bed of rice or serve them with roasted potatoes.
INGREDIENT

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Give the mushrooms a quick rinse; dry them thoroughly and then slice thinly.
  4. Dice the celery.
  5. Slice the bell pepper in half lengthwise; remove the seeds and white ribs and dice half of it. Wrap and refrigerate the remaining half for another use.
  6. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onion along with the diced celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  7. To the sautéed vegetables, add the lemon juice and some salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  8. Spray a large shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil. Spread half of the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture over the bottom then arrange swordfish steaks on top.
  9. Sprinkle the swordfish steaks with the Creole seasoning. Place a piece of bay leaf on each steak.
  10. Slice the grape tomatoes in half. If using large tomatoes, slice them thickly. Scatter the tomatoes over the swordfish steaks. Sprinkle remaining mushroom and onion mixture over the fish and drizzle with the water or broth.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish registers 145 F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thick steak.

Chicken Kiev

Chicken Kiev This dish is completely scrumptious but I mean how could it not be? It has everything you need, it’s got perfectly tender chicken, a crisp exterior, and a savory molten interior. This meal packs quite a hit in ways that are deeply satisfying and completely drool worthy. After you eat this chicken, I’m warning you you may need to take a nap. Oh yeah it’s one of those meals, one that just hits the spot in both flavor and how completely rich and filling it is. So let’s get into it, while this dinner requires just a smidge more effort than some of my easier meals, it’s worth it, trust me. Hails from Eastern Europe, specifically places like Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. Chicken breast is pounded out, stuffed with a garlic herb compound butter, coated with eggs and breadcrumbs, and eventually fried and/or baked. The best part of this chicken truly is the filling. You roll the flattened chicken around some garlic herb compound butter and it melts when heated up in the ove...

PAKISTANI PAKORA (POTATO FRITTERS)

These are the best Pakoras (aka potato fritters) you will ever eat. Yup, I am making that claim because they are, quite simply, the best I’ve ever had in the twin cities, either home or professionally made. They are so good, that I’m actually a wee bit hesitant to share this recipe, because that means relinquishing the title of best pakora maker. However, I am making this sacrifice for the greater good. The world needs more of these awesome Pakistani pakoras. There are way too many bland, tasteless pakoras out there. NO MORE. I say. it doesn’t get any more Pakistani than pakoras, my friends. With the rainy season upon us, the most Pakistani thing to do is eat pakoras and drink chai. It’s practically our patriotic duty. In commemoration of our beloved country’s 70th anniversary of Independence, I decided to share my beloved Pakistani pakora recipe. (And if you’re still looking for more Pakistani flavor after these, you should check out my Authentic Chicken Curry with...
