Ingredients

  • 2 thick swordfish fillets (about 250 g each)
  • ½ cup olive oil, plus a little extra for the fish
  • salt and black pepper
  • pinch of ground saffron
  • ½ cup parsley leaves
  • ½ cup mint leaves
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • ¼ orange, zest and juice
  • pinch of sugar
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish until just cooked to your liking. Try a few minutes each side, but it will depend on the thickness of your swordfish.
  2. While grilling, make the gremolata. Grind the saffron in a mortar and pestle. Finely chop the parsley and mint. With a microplane grate the garlic, lemon zest and orange zest. Season well with salt and pepper, add a little sugar and squeeze over the lemon juice. Mix through the olive oil.
  3. Transfer the fish to a serving plate and top generously with the gremolata. Serve with lemon wedges.
