Salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp. of unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar
4 oz. of white wine
- For serving
A handful of micro greens
Let’s make it
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Start from the leeks, since it takes the longest time to cook. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add leeks, salt and cook on a medium high heat, mixing occasionally, until it’s tender (10-12 min).
- Add balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 more minutes, letting it to evaporate.
- Add wine, black pepper, garlic and cook for additional 5 min, or until wine is almost evaporated. Taste it. If it tastes too sour (because of the kind of the wine), just add a teaspoon of sugar or honey. It has to be a little tangy, but not sour.
- Prepare the lobster tails, cutting in a middle and exposing the tail meat out on the shell and opening the tail tips for a better presentation. Brush the meat with melted butter mixed with garlic, spices and set it aside in a refrigerator.
- Mix all the spices swordfish together and set it aside.
- Pat dry the swordfish steaks with paper towels and brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with spices all over the steaks.
- Preheat the frying pan with a little drizzle of olive oil. Place steaks and cook it on a high heat until it gets a beautiful sear, for at least 5-6 min. not touching, flip it, reduce the heat to a medium, insert a meat thermometer and continue cooking until the fish internal temperature reaches 135 F. Remove it from the pan, cover slightly with aluminum and let it rest for 4-5 min.
- While steaks are cooking and resting, place baby broccolini on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oils, sprinkle with spices and place it in the oven together (on a separate sheets) with lobster tails for 6-7 min.
- Let’s assemble
- In a large plater or plate, place the caramelized leeks, place the swordfish steak, lobster and top it with generous amount of micro greens.
- Serve and enjoy!
