Steps

Let’s go to the kitchen

Prepare the Sicilian-style seasoned breadcrumbs by following my recipe click here.
In a bowl, place the tomato sauce and season it with salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano to taste.
Beat the egg in a plate or bowl.
Remove the skin from the steaks and, if present, the bone. Now that the bases are ready, proceed to bread the fish steaks
Dip each slice first in the egg and then in the Sicilian-style seasoned breadcrumbs,
pressing well.
Now, take a baking dish or sheet, and place a few tablespoons of the seasoned tomato sauce on the bottom, then lay the slices on top of the sauce and pour the remaining tomato sauce over each slice, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top
For oven cooking: if using the microwave, cook with the crisp function for 15 minutes. If using a classic oven, preheat to 356°F (180°C) static, and once it reaches temperature, place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
For air fryer cooking
Place the fish directly in the basket with the slices seasoned as explained above. Preheat the fryer and then cook for 10 minutes at 374°F (190°C)
Serve the Swordfish Gratin Pizzaiola Style hot and cheesy.
