Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 1 1/2 pounds Swordfish steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound Littleneck clams, scrubbed
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 pieces Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Dry white wine (Pinot Grigio)
  • 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, capers, and fish stock, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the white wine and increase the heat slightly to cook off the alcohol for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Gently add the swordfish cubes to the broth, ensuring they are partially submerged.

  6. 6

    Place the cleaned clams over the fish, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes.

    Remove the lid and discard any clams that have failed to open.

  8. 8

    Stir in the fresh parsley, season with salt if needed, and serve immediately in shallow bowls with crusty bread.
