How to Make Swordfish Piccata

1. Prepare and Cook Swordfish

Slice swordfish steak into 3/4-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Coat in Wondra flour. Heat grapeseed oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Sear swordfish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce

Pour out excess fat from the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter and shallot, cook until fragrant. Deglaze with white wine, reduce by half. Add capers and lemon juice, cook for a minute. Emulsify remaining 6 tablespoons butter into the sauce, one at a time. Stir in parsley and adjust seasoning.

3. Serve the Dish

Plate swordfish steaks and generously spoon the caper-lemon butter sauce over them. Garnish with a lemon cheek and a sprig of parsley. Serve immediately.
