How to Make Baked Swordfish Manzanillo
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat 1 pound (450g) swordfish steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place the swordfish in a lightly oiled baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions over the fish.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the baked swordfish to a serving platter. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 2 lime wedges, and 4 cherry tomatoes, halved.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
