The baked swordfish with lemon and green pepper is a light fish main course that requires easy baking… in the oven.
It’s an alternative to grilling, especially if you decided at the last minute to cook swordfish and didn’t have a chance to defrost it in time.
Moreover, it reduces the issue of fish odor in the house, which is less pronounced with oven baking than with grilling.
Swordfish is a lean fish, making it particularly suitable for low-calorie diets.
I buy it both fresh and defrosted from the freezer section, depending on availability.
