Ingredients
- 4 swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each)
- 4 strips of bacon
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite melting cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: soy sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Swordfish: Season the swordfish steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Leave some bacon fat in the skillet for added flavor.
- Sear the Swordfish: In the same skillet with the remaining bacon fat, add the butter and let it melt. Add the swordfish steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a nori sheet on a flat surface. Place a cooked swordfish steak on one end of the nori, top it with a strip of bacon, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Roll the nori tightly around the filling, using a little water to seal the edge.
- Toast the Rolls: In a clean skillet over medium-low heat, place the nori rolls seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the nori is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter. Serve warm, optionally with soy sauce for dipping.
