Directions:
To prepare these delicious Swordfish Rolls with Apple Sauce, begin by removing the skin from the swordfish fillet, cutting it thinly enough to easily roll. Peel the ginger, then set it aside for use in the next step.
In a food processor, combine the bread crumbs, orange zest, and freshly chopped ginger. Squeeze in the juice of the orange, then season with salt and pepper. Pulse until everything blends into a smooth, even breadcrumb mixture that will form the coating for the swordfish rolls.
Next, take a thin slice of swordfish and evenly spread the prepared breadcrumb mixture over it. Roll the fish from the shorter side to create a neat roll. After rolling each piece, dip it into a little extra virgin olive oil, ensuring it is well coated, and set the rolls side by side in a baking dish. The rolls should be packed closely together to ensure they cook evenly.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of the swordfish rolls and garnish with the sliced almonds for added texture and flavor. Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C (about 392°F) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and golden brown on top.
While the swordfish is baking, prepare the apple sauce. Cut the apple in half, remove the core, and roughly chop it. Place the chopped apple in a small saucepan with a little olive oil and cook until the apple softens and releases its juice. Add salt and a splash of lime juice for balance, and continue cooking until you have a smooth, slightly tangy apple sauce.
Once the swordfish rolls are ready, remove them from the oven and serve them on a plate. Spoon the fresh apple sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a flavorful dip.
These Swordfish Rolls with Apple Sauce are a delightful blend of savory, citrusy, and subtly sweet flavors that are sure to impress your guests. Perfect for any occasion, this recipe delivers an elegant yet simple way to enjoy fresh fish with a seasonal twist!
