Ingredients

  1. 600g swordfish steaks
  2. 1 pinch saffron threads
  3. 2 tablespoons warm water (for saffron infusion)
  4. 1 large tomato, diced
  5. 1 roasted capsicum, sliced
  6. 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  8. 1 chili, sliced (adjust to taste)
  9. 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  10. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  11. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  12. Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine saffron threads with two tablespoons of warm water and let it sit for five minutes to infuse.
  2. In a pan, combine the tomato, roasted capsicum, ground coriander, ground cumin, sliced chilli, crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and the saffron with its soaking liquid. Heat gently until warmed through.
  3. Preheat a chargrill or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Season the swordfish portions, brush with olive oil, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring the centre remains slightly rare.
  4. Transfer the cooked swordfish to serving plates. Stir the fresh herbs into the sauce and divide it among the plates to serve.

Chef's Tip

Swordfish is ideal for high-heat cooking because its firm texture holds beautifully while staying moist and meaty in the center. The key is restraint — cook the fish quickly so it stays tender rather than dry. Warm Moroccan spices, saffron, lemon, and roasted capsicum bring depth and brightness, creating a bold yet balanced seafood dish full of fresh Mediterranean-style flavour.
