Capers are so good with many things. I've used them in tuna salad
also. This is one of my favorite ways to use capers.

Mako Shark with Anchovy and Caper Sauce Recipe

Ingredients
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped garlic
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup imported sweet paprika
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1-1/3 cups olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 mako shark or swordfish steaks (about 8 ounces each)
10 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 whole cloves
1 can (35 ounces) Italian peeled tomatoes, drained and coarsely
chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
1/4 cup drained capers
1 small bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley, stemmed and finely chopped

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the onions, garlic, bay leaves, paprika,
lemon juice, 1 cup of the olive oil, the cayenne, salt and 1/4
teaspoon of the pepper. Add the shark steaks and set aside to
marinate, turning every 20 minutes, for 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler. In a large nonreactive saucepan, saute the
anchovies in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over moderate heat until
dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar and cloves. Reduce
heat to low; cook for 5 minutes. Strain; return the sauce to the pan.

Add the tomatoes, sugar and cinnamon and simmer the sauce over
moderate heat until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time,
stirring until completely melted. Add the capers, parsley and
remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cover to keep the sauce warm.

Remove the shark steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Broil the
steaks about 4 inches from the heat until just opaque throughout,
about 5 minutes on each side. Pour the warm sauce over the fish and
serve.

Yield: 6 servings
