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.
A SIMPLE SAUTÉE

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.
DELISH DINNER
