Title: Red Pepper Swordfish
Categories: Fish Blank
Yield: 6 Servings

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

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.

: Difficulty: easy. : Time: 20 minutes. : Precision: no need to measure.
