Ingredients

  1. 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
  2. 2 tablespoons sumac
  3. 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  4. 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  5. 8 swordfish steaks (about 180–200g each)

  8. Sea salt, to taste
  9. Cracked black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Combine sesame seeds and sumac in a bowl. Place the thyme and oregano in a mortar and pestle and gently pound until crushed. Add to the sesame-seed mixture and stir to combine.
  2. Preheat barbecue grill on high. Pat swordfish dry with paper towel and sprinkle both sides with zaatar mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Drizzle with oil.
  3. Cook swordfish on preheated barbecue grill for 3 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and serve
    immediately.

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.
