Meet swordfish — mild, meaty and firm, it’s a fish that adapts to just about any style of cooking, whether grilled, baked or pan-fried. Its sturdy texture means it holds its own as the hero of a plate, while its subtle flavour welcomes bold marinades, vibrant sauces and punchy spices. It’s the kind of fish you can return to often and dress up for dinner parties or keep casual for weeknight cooking.
From Italian baked swordfish to summery kebabs for the barbecue, spicy curries and chargrilled tapas, here are our top swordfish recipes to add to your seafood rotation.
