Sicilian Swordfish

We found this recipe on Allrecipes.com posted by ‘Rockfishusa’ under the name Swordfish a la Siciliana. On their site it was rated 5 out of 5 by 56 members. We thought we’d give it a whirl (we did make a couple changes)! It was really good except I don’t think the fish we got was fresh enough. I’m looking forward to trying it again with fresher fish. We may also try adding a little tomato sauce and fresh basil to the mix for a more ’saucy’ effect! Serve with a nice side salad, and some fresh pasta and/or garlic bread! Yummy!
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. raisins
- 5 tbsp. olive oil

Directions:
- Soak raisins in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
