Escolar with Garlic and Herbs

Escolar with Garlic and Herbs

Escolar (Wahu) is like swordfish only much fattier, and it is sometimes sold as "White Tuna."
Escolar's thick and fatty; you can use bone-in steaks or fillet.

Instead of escolar you can use swordfish or mahi-mahi.

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2-4 pieces escolar steak without skin ((eating escolar in quantities larger than 6oz  might not agree with your stomach)
 Salt and pepper

1. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic.

1. Season the fish generously with salt and pepper, and rub all over with rosemary garlic mixture.
2. Preheat the broiler. Wrap a broiler pan with foil, and place the fish into it.

1. Broil for 8 minutes per inch of thickness flipping halfway through cooking time. To test for doneness, make a small incision in the center of the steak and peek inside. Fish is done when only a trace of translucency remains in the center.

 Escolar served with baked broccoli.

 

Note: You can also grill escolar covered on medium-high, timing is the same as for broiling.

Enjoy!
