🍗 Gordon Ramsay Swordfish Ingredients

For the Lemon Garlic Mixture:

  • 2 TB salted butter, softened to room temp
  • 1 TB freshly chopped chives
  • 2 TB garlic cloves, minced
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 TB juice from fresh lemon
  • 1 TB grated lemon peel

For the Fish:

  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 2 1-inch thick swordfish fillets, about 6-7 oz each
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

🍛 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Swordfish

  1. Set the oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 400F.
  2. In a small pan, whisk together all of the ingredients for the Lemon Garlic Mixture. Put aside.
  3. Dry the swordfish fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  4. Apply a little dusting of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to both sides of the fillets. Put aside.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. Cook the swordfish fillets in heated oil for about 3 minutes, or until they are browned on one side (do not stir the fish frequently during cooking).
  6. Gently turn the fish fillets over to cook the other side, then quickly remove the pan from the heat and place in a preheated oven.
  7. Allow the fish to roast for around 5 to 6 minutes, or until it becomes a golden brown color on top and is cooked through in the middle. Avoid cooking it for too long.
  8. Just before the fish ends cooking in the oven, melt the prepared lemon-garlic combination in a small pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it bubbles and melts.
  9. Turn off the heat and pour the mixture over the cooked fish right away. Be careful to include the pan juices from the swordfish as well.
