Ingredients
  

Fish:
  • 1 lb. swordfish fillet
  • 1 lemon halved
  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
Tomato relish:
  • 1/2 c. cherry tomato sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp. sweet onion/yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp. fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 /2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame seeds toasted

Method
 

  1. About an hour prior to the time you’d like to cook the fish, squeeze lemon over both sides of the fillet, and sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  2. In a bowl, combine tomato relish ingredients and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium high heat until spattering and drop in swordfish fillet. Sear about 4 minutes on one side and flip. Sear another 4 or so minutes until fully cooked. Checked for doneness by poking center with a fork. If it flakes, it’s ready.
  4. Top with tomato-oregano relish, and serve with more fresh lemon for squeezing, if desired. Enjoy!
