Today, the tenth of May is the Mother’s day. We have celebrated Carlo’s mother with a tasty meal based on fish.
In fact she likes fish very much. We have started with an aperitivo, Italian style. An alcohol-free drink with some olives and pieces of flat bread. Then a  first course: noodles dressed with a fish sauce made with octopus, squid and king prawns. Then a second course: braised swordfish with a green seasonal salad. We didn’t want to cook swordfish with tomatoes and so we have created this new recipe, very successful!
Here it is the recipe.

Ingredients / Serves 2

2 swordfish steaks
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium size fresh young onion, finely chopped
3 teaspoons capers in vinegar
3 anchovy fillets in oil
1 orange juice
half a glass of white wine

Let the onion sauté in olive oil together with capers and anchovies for few minutes. Pour in orange juice and white wine. Bring to the boil the cooking juice and at this point add the steaks of swordfish. Keep on cooking for about 10 minutes until the cooking juice is partially reduced.
Your dish is ready! Tasty, easy  and quick recipe!
Serve the steaks hot with their cooking juice on the top.

Generally we don’t use swordfish. In fact swordfish is threatened with extinction. We bought it yesterday for this special occasion, the mother’s day.  You can also use other species for testing this recipe.
