- Mako Shark with Anchovy and Caper Sauce
-
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 teaspoons coarsely chopped garlic
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup imported sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/3 cups olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 mako shark or swordfish steaks (about 8 ounces each)
- 10 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 can (35 ounces) Italian peeled tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 stick (4 ounces) butter
- 1/4 cup drained capers
- 1 small bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley, stemmed and finely chopped
-
- In a large bowl, combine the onions, garlic, bay leaves, paprika, lemon
- juice, 1 cup of the olive oil, the cayenne, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the
- pepper. Add the shark steaks and set aside to marinate, turning every
- 20 minutes, for 1 hour.
-
- Preheat the broiler. In a large nonreactive saucepan, saute the anchovies
- in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over moderate heat until dissolved, about
- 2 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar and cloves. Reduce heat to low; cook for
- 5 minutes. Strain; return the sauce to the pan.
-
- Add the tomatoes, sugar and cinnamon and simmer the sauce over moderate
- heat until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
- Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring
- until completely melted. Add the capers, parsley and remaining 1/2 teaspoon
- pepper; cover to keep the sauce warm.
-
- Remove the shark steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Broil the steaks
- about 4 inches from the heat until just opaque throughout, about 5 minutes
- on each side. Pour the warm sauce over the fish and serve.
