Ingredients

For the compound butter

  • 2 Tbsp butter softened
  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • finely grated rind of 1 lemon
  • 1 t chilli oil optional

For the fish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 225C.
  • Mix together all the ingredients for the compound butter in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Season the swordfish to taste with sea salt. Heat a glug of olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat, then fry the swordfish on one side until golden brown (shouldn't be more than 2 minutes).
  • Turn the swordfish over and move the pan to the preheated oven. Roast for 5-10 minutes (this really depends on the thickness of your steaks and how well cooked you like your swordfish). Rather err on the side of undercooking slightly - overcooked swordfish will be dry!
  • Transfer the fish to a serving dish. Add the butter mix to the pan, just until it melts. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve immediately. I served it with creamy cauliflower mash and roasted Mediterranean veg - it was a fantastic combination.
