Description

Swordfish a la Siciliana is a dish that combines swordfish steaks with the sweetness of raisins, the tang of green olives, and the briny touch of capers. It’s baked with a simple sauce that enhances the natural taste of the fish, resulting in a rich, flavorful meal with a slight nutty crunch from pine nuts.
