Swordfish is a mild white fish that is easily prepared and always delicious when seasoned with Mediterranean flavors, like in my pan seared swordfish recipe.
I enjoy experimenting with different styles of preparing swordfish, but my favorite is to pan sear the fish. I love using Mediterranean spices, lemon, capers, olives and tomatoes. The combination reminds me of dinning on a terrace, overlooking the blue Mediterranean sea!
