We continue our seafood-a-thon into week two with swordfish and tuna.
Swordfish
Our next seafood meal was Swordfish Puttanesca using our go-to recipe which
we hadn’t had in a few years and just as before it was delicious and a hit with the three of us - Cindy raved about it, even the leftovers. I served it over small shell pasta.
Tuna
When I bought the salmon at Food City , I spotted some nice looking thick-cut tuna steaks so I picked up a couple of them for this meal. I considered using the same recipe as I made six years ago but I decided to just go with the basics for the first time so I seasoned them with just salt and lemon pepper.
I had never cooked tuna this thick before so I removed them from the fridge and allowed them to sit at room temperature for an hour then seared them in a hot pan for one minute per side and the center temp was about room temp.
We both thought the tuna was delicious and I think I may prefer this simple seasoning. We sided the fish with a baked sweet potato adorned with just butter, S&P.
I was pleased with both the frozen swordfish and tuna from Food City.

A Seafood Break For Manicotti
We decided to take a break from seafood as Cindy wanted to make manicotti for our Friday card group using our normal recipe including the homemade crapes rather than noodles. They can be made in a large dish but we thought it was sexier to make individual servings. We ended up with nine manicotti and as always, they were delicious. My only duh moment was that I should have thought to make seafood manicotti.

That all looks good. Each of the last 2 years I've gone on a 10 day ocean fishing trip out of San Diego and we have a freezer full of yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, and wahoo. If you were here you could have just walked across the street and I'd have given you some.
ReplyDeleteThe tuna steaks look perfectly seared. Manicotti! I haven't had it in far too long. Off to check out your recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe tuna looks absolutely perfect. The color of the centers is just gorgeous! Good eating, that's for sure, Larry and Cindy! I bet your card group just loves your cooking!
