Pan Grilled Swordfish – Emperador A la Plancha
– Pan Grilled Swordfish – Emperador A la Plancha –
In Spain we consume loads of seafood, everything from grilled sardines to fried calamari to smoked salmon. In this recipe, we will be making a fish that´s known for its high protein content and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, swordfish. In Spain, most fish dishes are cooked ¨a la plancha¨, which means to cook on a hot surface with little or no oil. Take this recipe for example, we will be pan grilling (a la plancha) the swordfish, which brings out the best possible flavor of the fish and is a much healthier way of cooking. This method of cooking works best when you are using a non-stick pan. Watch our video below on how to easily make pan grilled swordfish the Spanish way, and enjoy the flavors of simplicty at their best. Salud!.
