Apricot Glazed Swordfish

Ingredients:

 

4 5-ounce portions of swordfish
1 cup apricot preserves
4 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 cinnamon stick
White pepper, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste
Olive oil, as needed

 

In a small saucepot over medium high heat, add orange juice, ginger, and cinnamon stick. Reduce mixture by 70%. Whisk in apricot preserves making sure to melt out any lumps. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and reserve for future use. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Season swordfish on both sides with salt and white pepper. Add oil to pan. When pan generates a small amount of smoke, place filets face side down into pan. When swordfish has achieved proper browning flip over and continue to cook for 20 seconds. Place swordfish on a greased sheet pan face side up and liberally coat them with the apricot glaze. Place swordfish in the oven to finish cooking. About one minute before the swordfish is finished, apply another coat of the apricot glaze to the swordfish and place back in oven until finished.
