Epic Hemmingway Style Swordfish Recipe

Every year fisherman from all over the world travel to the Florida Keys with their sights set on battling a prized Swordfish on rod and reel. While serving in Iraq, United States Navy Pilot, John White envisioned himself fishing in the Florida Keys. When he returned from Iraq after 9 years he and his wife went fishing in the Florida Keys.

"Pam with the Giant"

On their way out to the fishing grounds his wife Pam apparently told the charter boat captain that they would indeed catch a swordfish guaranteed, because they were lucky.   The trip was major success and even made national news. In true Papa Hemmingway fashion they returned to the dock with a 455 lb. Swordfish!

Celebrate this epic catch, just like Hemmingway would have with this amazing recipe for swordfish steaks.

2 pound of Swordfish
2 Tablespoons (Tbs.)Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Margarine or Butter, softened
3 Tbs. Mayonnaise
3 Tbs. Chopped Green Onion (scallions)
2 Teaspoons - Fresh Garlic Chives, chopped
1/4 tsp. Salt
Tabasco Sauce to Taste (approx. 1/8 tsp.)

Place swordfish steaks in single layer on baking dish. Brush with lemon juice. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well, and set aside.  Broil steaks 6 - 8 inches from heat from 8-10 minuts until fish flakes easily with fork.  Remove from heat. Spread with cheese mixture. Broil an additional 2 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.  For presentation garnish with lemon slices and chives.

Ingredients

2 lbs of Yellowtail Snapper Filets
Sea salt and Ground pepper
3-4 tbsp. butter or margarine
½ cup of plain yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tablespoon of lime juice and ½ minced jalapeno
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon of dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Salsa
Shredded Cabbage
1 package of flour tortillas

Instructions

Place yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice and minced jalapeno, oregano, dill weed, cumin in a small bowl and stir to combine.

Cut the snapper fillets into 2-inch wide strips. Generously cover both sides of fillets with sea salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle a dash of garlic powder into the melted butter.

Add fillets to skillet, and sauté, about a 1 minute each side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Break fish into bite-size pieces. Place into serving dish.

Warm the tortillas. (I use a microwave for 20-30 seconds for a large 10-inch).

For each taco use about 3-4 oz cooked fish and 2-3 tablespoons each of salsa, cheese, sour cream, shredded cabbage.

Now get cooking!
