Pan-Seared Swordfish

Pan-seared swordfish is a simple, nutritious, and flavorful main course.

We’ve now entered autumn, and after 2 days of a yellow alert, the weather is slowly improving.

The air is getting cooler, and I feel like cooking dishes typical of this period 🙂

As you already know, I have always preferred summer, but in recent years I don’t mind autumn either because I can tolerate the sweltering heat less and less.

This morning I had to go out to buy some things I was missing, and at the same time, I didn’t know what to have for lunch.

I stopped by the fishmonger and bought swordfish that was on sale.

Since I got home late, I had little time to cook, so I preferred to make pan-seared swordfish because it’s quick to prepare.

With just a few ingredients: parsley, garlic, and lemon, here is a delicious fish main course 😀

Whoever prefers can deglaze with a bit of white wine.
