I had just purchased some lovely swordfish steaks, and I wanted some ideas, so naturallly I logged on to Food Network.
This caught my eye, as it looked easy. I didn't know I was going to make it, so had no fennel on hand. I would make this again in a heartbeat! Next time, I would use the fennel to make it have a more unique flavor, rather than just a tomato sauce. I would also use FRESH tomatoes, first poppling them in boiling water to remove the skins, etc..
I did add a little bit of mezza penne at the end, so I would have a complete meal, and not have to make a starch.
It really ROCKED! So easy. I could see Ina telling the camera, as she carried a big platter out to the beach, " I made this is for my friends, for a little lunch. Would anyone like a glass of Chardonnay?"

I couldn't believe how easy this dish was to make and how wonderful it turned out. Like other people who have commented, I never really tried fennel and I found it delicious cooked in this manner. I used crushed pomodoro tomatoes and omitted the wine (I didn't have any on-hand and everything tasted just fine.

I grilled my swordfish on a grillpan indoors. I think you could use any firm fish with the tomato and capers sauce.

So delicious! Taste as you season!

I had made this once before but forgot how fabulous it was until I saw a recent repeat episode. Made it for dinner & got the "restaurant quality" comment from my DH...and, he's very picky.

It came together so quickly...I love that. And, thanks to Ina, I cook a lot with fennel...who knew that licorice flavor of raw fennel cooks out into a fantastic taste all its own?! Well, Ina knew...and she was right!!

I threw in a leftover yellow tomato and it made a very pretty addition to the red tomato compote.

Nice, but boring for an $18/lb. fish. Next time, and I will make it again, I'll use wall-eye instead of the poor endangered swordfish and add some cayenne.

I am getting fresh steel head fish from my grandparents and i was wondering if anybody thinks that it would taste good with the sauce she makes with the swordfish? thanks

What more can you ask for! Highly recommend this sauce for swordfish, mahi mahi, and chicken. Very flavorful; it just all works well. And this is so darn easy---rock star quality with no effort.

one tip, rather than 'smash' the tomatoes with a fork, i just use kitchen shears and cut them in the sieve. Works really well.

Go Ina you really know what you're doing
