Recipe Ingredients

3/4 lb	340g / 11oz	Center-cut swordfish - cut into 4 pieces
		About 1/8" thick each
2		Leeks - darkest green (large)
		Removed, cut into 4" julienne
		Zest and juice of 1 pink grapefruit
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dijon mustard
1/4 cup	59ml	Extra-virgin olive oil - plus
2 tablespoons	30ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons	10ml	Black mustard seeds
		Zest and segments of 1 pink grapefruit
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Place swordfish paillard on 4 separate plates, cover each with plastic and place in refrigerator.

Bring 2 quarts water to boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and set up a handy ice bath in an 8-quart mixing bowl. Drop leek julienne into boiling water and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Remove leeks and plunge into ice bath to cool, about 1 minute. Remove from ice bath, drain well and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together grapefruit zest and juice, mustard, olive oil and mustard seeds until lightly emulsified. Remove swordfish plates from refrigerator and uncover. Place in preheated oven and cook 30 to 45 seconds, until just opaque. Remove and place on counter.

Dress leeks with remaining oil and lemon juice and divide among 4 swordfish plates, making a pile in the center of each. Place 3 grapefruit segments on each plate and sprinkle with zest. Drizzle with sauce and serve warm.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
