Clean the fennel, remove the tough parts, and slice it thinly. Arrange them in the air fryer basket. Place the swordfish steaks on top, add the olives and the garlic clove (whole or minced).
Cook at 356°F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway if necessary. The fish will be tender and juicy, while the fennel will be golden and fragrant.
Place the swordfish with the fennel on a serving plate, add a drizzle of raw oil and, if you like, a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Enjoy your meal! 😋
variations & tips:
You can replace the olives with cherry tomatoes or capers for a more Mediterranean taste.
If you prefer a crunchy touch, add seasoned breadcrumbs on top before cooking.
Store the cooked swordfish in the refrigerator for 1 day and reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes before serving.
