Tomato Basil Marlin Steaks (This fish is terrific served with Greek olives and feta cheese) Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: 2 (6 ounce) swordfish steaks 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper 1 tsp kosher salt 2 tomatoes, cubed 4 ounces fresh basil, chopped 1/2 cup butter 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium-sized pot, melt 1/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon garlic over a medium-low heat. In a small pot melt the remaining butter and garlic over a medium-low heat. When the butter in the medium-size pot is melted, stir in the tomatoes, basil, and lime juice. Just before the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Arrange the fish in a baking pan. Pour the butter and garlic from the small pot over the fish. Bake the fish for 8 minutes, then turn the fish over and bake another 8 minutes. To serve, spoon the tomato mixture over the fish. Also top with a little of the butter and garlic sauce that the fish was cooked in. Copyright 2005 Valerie Renee Campbell VAL
