  1. SUNNY SEEDS

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan, large enough for the broccoli, over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  2. CHARRED MEDLEY

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the broccoli pieces and the onion wedges and fry for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred, shifting occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated garlic, shifting constantly. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Add the grated cheese and seasoning. Toss until combined and cover to keep warm.

  3. A SIMPLE SAUTÉE

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the shredded kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly wilted, shifting occasionally. Season and remove from the pan.

  4. FLIP FLIP HOORAY!

    Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the swordfish on one side for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and add a generous knob of butter and the dried sage leaves. Fry for a further 1-2 minutes until the swordfish is cooked through. Remove from the heat and add ½ the lemon juice and season to taste.

  5. DELISH DINNER

    Make a bed of the wilted kale. Top with the loaded broccoli medley, the swordfish and the crispy sage leaves. Drizzle over the sage & lemon pan juices (to taste) and the remaining lemon juice. Sprinkle over the toasted sunflower seeds. Good job, Chef!
