Swordfish Steamed Bagnara Style Food

STEAMED SWORDFISH BAGNARA-STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a large shallow baking dish. Add lemon slices, capers, and garlic. Turn lemon slices to completely coat with oil; remove from dish and set aside. Season swordfish with salt and pepper and place in an even layer in baking dish; turn swordfish to coat with oil. Top with lemon slices and sprinkle with oregano and 1 tablespoon parsley.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fit a large roasting pan with a rack; add enough boiling water so that it fills the pan 1 inch high. Set baking dish on rack and tent with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil, pressing it against the sides of the roasting pan.
• Carefully transfer to oven and bake until swordfish is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove foil and remove baking dish from rack; immediately sprinkle fish with remaining tablespoon parsley. Serve immediately with pan juices.
