Brown Butter Swordfish with Turkish Chili and Mint

1. Prepare the Swordfish

Start by removing the skin from the swordfish steaks. Once the skin is off, cut the swordfish into cubes. Season them generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Brown the Butter

In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it turns a golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, which should take about 3 minutes.

3. Cook the Swordfish

Once your butter is beautifully browned, add the seasoned swordfish cubes to the skillet. Cook them for about 3 minutes, turning them occasionally and basting them with the nutty brown butter.

4. Add the Aromatics and Spices

Stir in the minced garlic, dried mint, and Turkish chili flakes. Let these ingredients cook for approximately 2 minutes, allowing their flavors to infuse into the fish and butter.

5. Final Touches and Serve

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or chili flakes to suit your preference. Sprinkle the fresh mint over the cooked swordfish for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
