Procedure

[edit | edit source]
  1. Combine 4 tablespoons of the extra- virgin olive oil in a large bowl, then add all the finely chopped garlic, lemon juice, 2 pinches of salt, 2 pinches of either the red or black pepper, and all of the fish seasonings. Mix them together very well to make a marinade.
  2. Add the fish to the marinade, cover, and marinate in the fridge for about an hour.
  3. Combine the tomatoes, onions, yellow pepper, zucchini, tabasco sauce, remaining extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Remove the fish from the fridge.
  5. Heat a greased stovetop grill or skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for at least 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for about another 4 minutes.
  6. While the fish is cooking, put half of the tomato paste mixture onto a sheet pan and bake in a 350°F oven for about 7 minutes.
  7. Put the remaining half tomato paste mixture on the plate followed by each one of the sword fish fillets. Garnish with the slice from the remaining lemon.
  8. Serve with a side dish such as white rice or attieke.
