RED PEPPER SWORDFISH

Servings: 6
Ingredients:

6    Swordfish steaks                    1 C  Olive oil
-(each about 1/2 lb                 1 t  Salt
-and about 1 inch thick)          1/2 t  Black pepper,
1 lg Sweet red pepper                         -fresh ground
2    Lemons                                   White wine, dry
3 T  Oregano, fresh

Remove seeds and ribs from pepper and cut into 1/4 inch cubes. Put in a
bowl and mix well with the juice of the two lemons, the olive oil, salt,
pepper and the oregano.

Heat broiler and pour wine to a depth of about 1/8 inch in a broiler pan.
Lay swordfish steaks in wine and broil for 3 minutes. Pour the seasoned
lemon, oil and oregano mixture over the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes
more (until fish is cooked through and lightly browned.) Immediately
transfer fish to a warmed serving dish.

You may need to reduce the sauce slightly by boiling vigorously and
stirring for 2 minutes more. Pour sauce over fish and serve.

NOTES:

* Swordfish steaks cooked with sweet red peppers — This recipe was handed
out to people buying swordfish at my local fishmonger; I tried it and it
was delicious. It is also very quick and simple to make.

* I served fresh asparagus with this, but any light vegetable would be
fine. Boiled new potatoes would be nice, too.
