(Pesce Spada a Sfinciuni)
Category: Fillets and Steaks
Sicilian cooks make a mouth-watering pizza called sfinciuni, a word that derives from the Arabic meaning "light" or "airy." The pizza has a thick yet light crust and is topped with onions, anchovies, and tomato sauce. This traditional swordfish recipe is derived from that pizza.
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 cup peeled, seeded, and chopped fresh tomatoes, or drained and chopped canned tomatoes
Pinch of dried oregano, crumbled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 swordfish steaks, about 3/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1 Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a medium skillet. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the anchovies and cook 5 minutes more or until very tender. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper and simmer 10 minutes.
2 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil a baking pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer.
3 Pat the swordfish steaks dry. Place them in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon on the sauce. Toss the bread crumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil. Scatter the crumbs over the sauce.
4 Bake 10 minutes or until the fish is just slightly pink in the center. Test for doneness by making a small cut in the thickest part of the fish. Serve hot.
