Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Swordfish

    Rub the swordfish steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Swordfish

    Place the seasoned swordfish steaks on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparation of Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

  3. 6

    Stir in Cream and Dill

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and chopped dill. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 7
