Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Fennel Seed

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and set a wire rack on a baking sheet

2

Season the swordfish on both sides with salt and pepper

3

Wrap each steak with 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto, until just covered, without overlapping too much

4

Set aside

5

Using a paring knife, peel the oranges, removing all the white pith

6

Working over a mixing bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release the segments; add to the bowl

7

Add the raisins to the bowl so they plump while preparing the rest of the dish

8

Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs, reserving the fronds for garnish; remove the tough outer leaves

9

Cut each bulb in half lengthwise, trim the base and cut out the core

10

Slice the fennel into strips as thin as possible

11

Put the fennel slices in the bowl and add the olives, anchovies, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, the basil and fennel seeds

12

Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to mix

13

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat

14

When shimmering, carefully add 4 of the swordfish steaks and cook until the prosciutto is browned and crisp and the fish is just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side

15

Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven

16

Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and repeat with the remaining fish

17

Serve the fish over the fennel salad

18

Garnish with the arugula, cherry tomatoes and reserved fennel fronds
