Swordfish in Mushroom Cream Sauce

In a saute or frying pan, melt a large knob of butter, over a low heat fry the swordfish for two minutes each side. Add the mushroom stock from the soaked mushrooms (reserve the mushrooms to one side), turn up the heat and reduce liquid stock until it starts to go syrupy, turning the swordfish. Remove swordfish and keep warm. Add the fish stock and sherry and repeat the process of reduction again to the syrupy stage. Now add the mushrooms and the cream together with the lemon juice, salt and fresh ground pepper to season. Bring the cream to the boil in the pan and then allow to boil away for a minute or so until it begins to thicken up and take on a sauce like consistency. Serve the swordfish, topped with the mushrooms and the sauce. Serve with plain vegetables or pasta or rice. The flavours are in the fish and sauce so keep it simple. I served it with fresh linguine.
