Chef's Tip

Swordfish is ideal for bold Mediterranean flavours because its firm, meaty texture stands up beautifully to aromatic spice blends like zaatar. Cook the fish over high heat to create light char and caramelisation while keeping the center moist and tender. Lemon and sumac add freshness and acidity, helping balance the earthy herbs and rich seafood flavour.
