Instructions
- Start by preparing the swordfish. The slices should not be thin. They should be about 1 ½ cm (⅔ inch) high. Remove the skin and central bone.
- On a cutting board, cut the swordfish into fairly large and even pieces. Place them in a bowl.
- Squeeze the citrus fruits. Add the orange and lemon juice (strained) to the swordfish.
- Add a pinch of salt, ground black pepper to taste, a teaspoon of brown sugar and the chopped parsley.
- Stir and leave the swordfish to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Then prepare a plate with flour. Take the swordfish pieces out of the marinade and dip them in the flour.
- Make sure each piece is well covered. Flour all the pieces and arrange them on a plate. PLEASE NOTE: Set aside the citrus marinade that you will use for cooking.
- In a frying pan large enough to hold all the pieces of swordfish, heat the extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the fish and cook over high heat for a few minutes.
- After about 2 minutes, turn the swordfish to the other side and brown it in the same way. Then turn again. The flour in contact with the hot oil will form a crispy crust.
- When the fish is crispy and golden brown on both sides (4-5 minutes total), pour the marinade, which is mostly orange juice, over the fish.
- Cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat. Due to the presence of flour and sugars, the liquid will thicken a bit and form a delicious orange sauce.
- The orange swordfish is done! Serve with grated fresh orange zest and drizzle with the cooking juices. Decorate with an orange slice.
