Servings: 4

Ingredients

Swordfish steaks
4 (6 oz each)
Breadcrumbs
1 cup
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, finely chopped
Olive oil
3 tablespoons, plus extra for drizzling
Lemon
1, juiced and zested
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is slightly moist.
  3. Lay out the swordfish steaks on a clean surface. Evenly spread the breadcrumb mixture over each steak, pressing it down gently to adhere.
  4. Carefully roll up each swordfish steak tightly, starting from one end. Secure each roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold them together.
  5. Place the wrapped involtini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes. Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the involtini for an added burst of flavor.
