Grilled swordfish with Mediterranean vegetables and lemon parsley emulsion

Ingredients

Fresh swordfish with rapini, Yukon potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, olives and a bright lemon-parsley emulsion.

  • 180 g swordfish steak
  • 20 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 g garlic
  • 200 g rapini
  • 300 g Yukon potatoes
  • 150 g zucchini
  • 120 g Roma tomatoes
  • 40 g Kalamata olives
  • 10 g Italian parsley
  • 20 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 10 g Dijon mustard

Method

  1. Season and grill the swordfish carefully to the desired doneness, keeping the flesh moist and tender.
  2. Prepare the rapini, Yukon potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes and olives as Mediterranean garnishes with balanced texture and color.
  3. Blend Italian parsley, fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard while emulsifying with extra virgin olive oil to create a bright sauce.
  4. Plate the swordfish centrally with the garnishes and finish with the lemon-parsley emulsion.
Chef’s Note: Swordfish benefits from confident grilling and a short rest. The emulsion should stay fresh and lively so it lifts the richness of the fish instead of masking it.
